We need your prayers

Friends,


Last night at about 10:30, Rod took Kamara to the hospital because she was having intense pains on her rightside. At 1:55, Kamara gave birth to a 24 week old little girl. There was nothing the doctors could do to stop the delivery because Baby Cox was too low and already starting to come.  Baby Cox weighes 1 lb 10 oz and she is 12 3/4 inches. They are currently at Plano Medical Center because their NICU is one of the best around. The doctors prepared Kamara and Rod for the worst, but because of all the prayers her rate is at a 90, which it needs to maintain at between 80-100.  The best news of it all is her blood pressure is maintaining at a proper rate.  Her pulse is also doing well. She is a fighter...

The doctors are saying that a 24 week old baby has a 50% chance.  This is where you (community, family, friends, Christian brothers and sisters) are greatly needed.  Please be on your knees right now and asking out Lord to provide strength for this little one.  We are in the 24 hour period that is most critical.  They will do a test later tonight to find out if there might be any brain damage.  The results of this test will not be available untill later tomorrow.

You may be asking how are Kamara and Rod.  They are doing the best that can be expected with a situation like this.  They are visiting little Baby Cox often in the NICU.  They did not have any rest last night and are very tired.  We have family up here right now, and there have been several prayers said in the waiting room together as a family.  Many congregations have been contacted already to ask for prayers.  We ask that you pray for their strength in these areas: mentally, physically, and spiritally.  They are choosing to hold on to all the positive news and are putting their complete faith in our Lord.  The Lord has already spoken through and encouraged them through a NICU nurse that had a baby at 24 weeks. She was smiling and encouraging them and told them to hold on to the truth, and not get caught up in the emotions. She is a woman of faith as well. We know that God is working through all of this! We ask that you pray a specific prayer for strength and truth.

Here are a couple of pictures taken about 3:00 am this morning.

We will update this blog when we hear anymore news. 

In Him,
