Prayer

Here's a note from Krista, I received via email. Many of you probably already know of Grace's complications. I know you readers will pray. Thank you!

We are so privileged and grateful to announce the birth of our firstborn,

Grace Aladi Ochenjele
Born April 11, 2008 at 6:13am
7lbs 9oz, 20.5 inches

Please pray for her and us, though, as she had to be admitted to the NICU last evening. She was having some difficulty breathing, and the doctors think that she has pneumonia. She will have to stay in the hospital for 7-10 days to receive IV antibiotics. Last we checked on her, she was doing well...had a little IV and a little nasal cannula with some oxygen. It will be hard to have to leave her here on Sunday when I'm discharged, but we are trusting that the Lord gives that which is good! Thankfully, we live about 5-6 blocks from the hospital and we are also very grateful that it was caught early!

Love from,
George, Krista and Gracie

Thanks for the news/photos and later update us about Grace -- were were glad to be able to start praying Saturday night. At church this morning, Jim reported that she's doing much better. Prayer is awesome! Looking forward to an update with more details!

Thank you for the update. I will be keeping these three in my prayers.

Gracie is so cute! I am sorry to hear that she is ill... that's always very scary, especially this young.

Really enjoyed the pictures of her and the proud family! What a blessing!

God's blessings to you and your extended family during this time.
