Prayer Request

My good friend Lauren and her sweet family have recently received some devastating news and I am asking for everyone to keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Below is a post that Lauren shared with everyone on Facebook:



our news/prayer request

Sun at 9:11am
i am sorry to have to share such sad news, but it’s important for everyone to know. as most people have already heard, greg and i are expecting a baby boy in november. unfortunately, about a week and a half ago, we found out that he has an extremely rare, fatal chromosome disorder (trisomy 13.) he has several issues going on, but namely he has at least 6 structural abnormalities (“holes”, etc.) in his heart. if he survives the pregnancy, he will probably not survive long after birth. we are devastated, but trusting in God’s plan for us. we absolutely believe that God doesn’t make mistakes. so of course we are continuing the pregnancy in hopes that we will be able to hold our baby boy while he’s still alive and experience an amazing blessing. please pray for us, we have a rough road ahead. our plan is to create a blog for updates on our situation and for future prayer requests, so i'll post a link soon.thanks so much,lauren
