please Pray

My cousins Chris and Jessica are expecting their first baby and just found out earlier in the week that the baby's bladder is full and that her amniotic fluid levels are low. These are two of the problems that Max had while in utero. The positives are that she is at 35 weeks so the baby's lungs will developed enough if they decide to take him/her early. Also, the kidneys look fine. There isn't any fluid backed up into them (which is what caused Max's kidney failure).

They have a level two ultrasound this afternoon at 1:00 to take a closer look at the baby's bladder and to see if they can find where the blockage is.

My heart is aching for them because I know how scary it is to sit and wait to find out what is going on with your unborn baby. I am so scared for them, but I have faith that everything is going to be okay. Please pray for them today that they will figure out what is causing the backup and that Chris and Jessica find peace in the findings and stay positive. It's so hard to go through something so scary, so please keep them in your prayers and close to your hearts today.

Thank you :o)
