URGENT prayer request (that came in from Rapture Ready.com) ~
 
This baby, "Phillip" is (so far) still in the womb, and seen sucking his thumb!!    But the mother has been having early contractions; her water broke a few days ago, at only 22 weeks along.  And NOW...... horrors ~ the hospital is saying they will not even TRY to save the baby even if he is born alive!!!
 
This just makes me cry!!

Everyone please continue to pray for Joni's grandbaby! The situation is dire and the Lord's help is badly needed!

Basically both Arnold Palmer Hospital and our local hospital have made
it clear that if the baby is born before 24 weeks, it's considered a
miscarriage! So they will not try to save him if she delivers
beforehand! They even told my son if she should "miscarry" at home, that
even if they call an ambulance, they too will not intervene to try to
save the baby though he's born alive! Our family finds this
UNBELIEVABLE! My husband says it's because they're on medicaid...that if
they had money and good health insurance they would EVERYTHING to save
the baby. GOD BE THEIR JUDGE.

It was a long weekend of strong contractions and two trips to the
hospital. Day in and day out. The baby still has a good strong
heartbeat..THANK YOU LORD! He is now a full 22 weeks. Just beginning the
23rd. We've got a long road ahead of us.
