Prayers Badly Needed

billy the kid · November 07, 2008, 03:15:55 PM

This is a very serious thread and I would appreciate your co-operation.

A friend of mine and her husband had been trying for a child for over 3 years and happily announced a while back that they had successfully conceived but that this time was basically their last chance.

She is now in hospital after having a baby boy yesterday. The little fella isnt very well however as he was born at 22 weeks and was under 2 Lbs.

The next 24-48 hours are critical to his survival and his mother has asked everyone to pray for him.

What Im asking is that everyone take a stop and take a moment to say a prayer for mother and childs survival.

The childs name is Miceal (pronounced Me - Hall) and he is in Craigavon area hospital in the spealist baby ward.

Please could everyone take a moment and offer a prayer for this childs life.

Thanks.

Nice to see a thread like this Billy and i can assure you lad i will say a prayer for the wee one and light a candle for him aswell. Hopefully he will get through it. I look forward to your post saying that the kid was grand in 4 or 5 months time.

Terrible news altogether.
I hope he gets through it, it must be a tough time for all concerned.

Thanks lads.

As much as we all argue and take the piss and lets be honest, be downright twisted with each other at times I knew yous would step up to the plate.

All concerned are in my thoughts.

Something like this puts it all in perspective.

In the hope that it might help raise the spirits, 5 years ago my sister gave birth in very similar circumstances to the smallest baby ever born at the Rotunda in Dublin.
It was a horrendous first year for baby and parents.

But they both made it through and my 5 year old niece started school in september. I hope there is a similar outcome here.
