Please pray for the health of Twins

[octoberose]

Hello All,
My daughter is 32 weeks  pregnant with her first children, twin boys. They said today that although the babies stress test come back very good, one baby weighs 4 pounds 11 ou. and the other weighs 3 pounds 4 ou. Tomorrow she goes to see a specialist . Of course the concern is that the little one is not getting enough nutrients and they will have to determine if they wait to deliver or deliver sooner. Please pray for wisdom from the doctors and peace for my daughter and her husband and health as God wills for my grandsons.
I know all is in His Hands, and I'm just grateful and hopeful.
Thanks,
Patricia

thank you for reaching out and letting us know octoberose.  God's mercy is new every morning He brings.  i pray for His mercy to blanket those twin boys, and that He will enrich the nourishment through her to their developing bodies.  He sees them as they are being formed and i ask Him to cause your daughter to be able to carry them for a few weeks longer.  He is able.

Thank you so much.  I've let her know people are praying. I will update you as you know more.

Count me in my sister. I'm praying too.

[octoberose]

yes, it is encouraging . :0)
As long as they determine the little one is growing, they will wait till Feb 15 and then deliver by c section ( both boys are breech) . She will be 2 1/2 weeks early but that's due to the little one and not knowing if he's just small, or not getting proper nutrition. So, we wait and see what God has in store.  Thank you for continuing to pray with me.

Today was the big day. My daughters twins are here and prayer still needed. The boys were born at 37 weeks 3 days and  very breech and so she had to have a C section. Without labor contractions, little Mason has amniotic fluid in his lungs and is on oxygen in the nicu. His brother, who only weighs 4 lbs. 14 ou. is doing much better and breathing normally. We are praying God is merciful and gives them breath and health. Thank you for praying with me.

[octoberose]

Yes, I am aware that infants die in the NICU.
Sometimes on this forum I think that since we know God is going to work
all out according to the counsel of His will, that there isn't a sense of wrestling in prayer. God is going to do what God is going to do so what's the point? But that is not our example in the Bible, is it? Jacob wrestled with God,  David pleaded, Jesus our  ultimate example sweat drops if blood in prayer. There were demons that could not be excised without fasting and prayer. God requires our participation. I am asking for your participation on behalf of an infant who they won't allow to be held by his own mother because the wires are too short. He's a twin, and now he only has our hands to pat him and try to sooth him and lives with the pain that is being inflicted on him while they try to resolve the breathing issue. 
So, will anyone pray for Mason with me ?

I pray that the Lord Jesus will heal him of all those complications.

I'm confident that many are praying with you, including many who will never post.  I'm not the best at it, but I'm with you--in prayer and in agreement with your last post.

[microlink]

AMEN

[cjwood]

oh my dear God!!  patricia, i haven't kept up with all the threads lately and i just now read your updated posts.  i stand with you in prayer for little mason, and for you, and for all that this hardship is touching.  God our Father loves that baby.  and He loves you.  and He loves me.  and we know His Word is ALIVE, and He has not and will never change.  His Word is spirit and truth, because it was given by the Spirit of God, and His Truths never change.  yes indeed God requires our participation.  it is stated in many different ways in the OT and the NT.

continue in your walk of faith patricia.  fear not.  believe only.  words spoken by Jesus Himself.  i will pray for your strength, and for mason's body to grow through the love that is given to him by all of your hands.

I'm one of the many who never post, like Dave said.  I pray for most of the requests on here, and while it's hard for me to relate to most of them, I can understand them and appreciate them.  But your last post, octoberose, I can relate to, which inspired me to post.

[octoberose]

For those who were kind enough to pray, weather you posted or not doesn't matter, I wanted to give you an update. Thank you for your words and your prayers.
After 8 days Mason came home and though he had a couple episodes where his temp went down and his respiration up, his parents recognized it and kept him warm and down went his respiration. He and his brother are growing well, and we are grateful that those first scary days are over.  Little ones use to die of this complication and we are so grateful for the medical intervention but mostly for God's Hand in having him respond to treatment.
So, one thing happens and the next comes. My college age son has been diagnosed with depression as he tries to finish his final semester. And again, I'm afraid. I asked God time and time again to intervene in his life and now I wonder if this is how He will accomplish it. I truly believe God gave us children so we would have a glimpse of Him as Father. Except of course that our God does not worry- but Jesus felt for us as we grieved and that comforts me.

[virginiabm]

Oh octoberose, I am so thankful and so happy for you that God has answered our prayers for baby mason.
I know that is a big weight off of your heart. I will pray for your son about his depression, I know what depression can do because I have been there and still there at times. May God bless you through all your trials and strengthen you and give you peace that passes all understanding. Much love to you my sister.
