Please pray for this family...

Last Tuesday, a family that used to live in our area had their baby. The mother almost died and they had to deliver their son, Jack, prematurely. He was 10 inches long and 1 lb. and 1 oz. at the time of delivery. He was given zero chance of survival, but has beaten all odds so far. If you could, please pray for Chris, Sharon, and Baby Jack.

Another friend has traveled to Tallahassee to be with them during this time and made this YouTube video. Their story is so real when you watch the video.

Oh my. That video is heartbreaking. How early was he born? At the end of the video it says, "I'm home." Did he pass away?

I'll be praying for their whole family.

To be honest, I cannot remember how early he was born, but they just gave him a shot to help lung development two days before he was actually delivered. They were concerned that they would have to deliver him early. I find it amazing that it was exactly two days before he was born. He also has a heart defect, but the doctors say it is not life threatening.

No, he did not pass away. The "I'm home" was meaning he is here to stay with his mom and dad.

Wow, amazing. Praying for this family.

I too wondered the same thing as Jennifer. I am assuming he is still alive.

(just saw note above) Praise God!

Please post updates or link a site for the family. I linked the You Tube video on my blog. Do they know about CaringBridge? It's a site for families who are having tough medical events. They can make their own page, keep friends and family updated.
