Prayers Needed


Abby was admitted to St Joseph's children's hospital Wednesday morning due to having severe RSV, continuous vomiting, high fever (103.8 for 5 days) and an ear infection. RSV is a very serious and contagious respiratory virus that is very common in infants who are around other children (ie daycare) during the peak season in Florida (September - April).

Thank you for the prayers for Abby. She will be in the hospital at least a few more days. It all depends on her ability to hold down fluids and fluid output as well as respiratory function. She successfully nursed tonight (yaaaaay!) and we hope it is a permanent uphill improvement.

It's been so upsetting for our little baby; IV, X-rays, oxygen, respiratory therapy, failed catheter attempts, and wanting to just be held by mommy and daddy. But we have faith and God is in control!

She finally smiled and played with her toys around 5 pm. Praise The Lord! We are thankful for God's provision and the strength he is providing us during this journey. Please continue to pray for a complete and speedy healing for Abby:)

Love and prayers-
Sarah, Scott, and Abby Grace
