Please keep one of my students (Justin) and his family in your prayers. He has had a difficult time adjusting to school this year and some family problems at home. Last Tuesday, his mom dropped him off at school late and was hurting with labor pains. She went to Somerville hospital (which is not equipped for labor and delivery) at 10:10 am and 5 minutes later, she was delivering her newborn baby Emily Ann. They were immediately rushed to St Francis hospital and the baby was put in the NICU. They were sent home 2 days later and the 5year old was adjusting fine to his new baby sister. The mom fed her 3 day old baby at 1am Friday morning and went back to bed. She woke up at 3 am with a bad feeling and found her baby girl not breathing. She went to get her mom who was asleep with Justin and told her what was going on. They thoiught he was asleep but he really heard everything. The uncle was the only one that knew CPR and he was so nervous with her being so tiny. She didn't make it, her lungs were filled with blood and fluids. The funeral was this weekend and Justin did not go, but saw the pictures and said, "my baby is an angel now". How sad and tragic for this family to go through such a tragedy during the holidays. I called and spoke with the grandma earlier today and she said the mom is having a hard time and the 5 year old keeps talking about how pretty his baby sister was. They only had her at their house for 12 hours. I can not even imagine being a mother how the mom feels right now. This family needs alot of prayer right now. Please pray for God to give them strength to make it through the holidays.
Thanks friends

Oh no!! I hate to hear that. Poor Justin! I will be praying for him and his family. I cannot even imagine what they are going through right now.
ReplyDeleteThat's truly heartbreaking. I know what you mean about not even being able to imagine the grief and pain they are feeling. I just said a prayer for Justin and his family. So tragic.
