Bro. Ferd,
Our eldest son's wife gave birth to a little girl 11 wks premature three yrs. ago.
She was in the neo-natal unit for two and a half mos., however from the time
she was born by c-section, she never had a set-back. Her doctors made the
statement when they took her home that "This is the way every premmie should
go home". This is only to give God glory for what He can and will do for His people.
We ARE His people, the sheep of HIS pasture.
May our Great Lord God give you and your sweet wife tremendous success during
and following the birth of your little son, in JESUS name!

Blessings,

Falla39

God has certainly been good to us thus far.

the baby has not come yet which is a great thing. every hour is a blessing. Mrs. Ferd got the second steriod shot this morning and has had a very quiet day.

Last night wasn't easy but we survived and we really are thinking we can make the 72 hours the Doctors are hoping for.

Thank you all for your prayer.

Bro you remember that God has it all in control. He knows what i needed when. One of my great nephews was born 12 weeks early and they were told he would spend probably the entire time in the hospital. 8 weeks later he went home. They were told he would be 10 before he ever caught up with the kids his age, at 3 they said he was already caught up. They said he would be sickly, hasn't had any problems since birth. God knows exactly what you need. Trust him to take of you and your family.

We are praying and trust God will see you all through.

My cousin's grandson was born at 26 weeks gestation. As you can well imagine the outlook was bleak. But, God is STILL God, isn't He?

Today David is 7 years old. The only clue (only to medical people) that he was premie is that he is small in stature and must wear glasses (from all the oxygen he received). He is HIGHLY intelligent and has never been behind in any of his skills!

My son and DIL are having difficulty conceiving and this is what I told them. THESE are the situations that give God a chance to do what He does Best....BE God!

Praying for strength for you and your family and for that little "bun" that wants to get out of his "oven" a little too soon!

Hello Ferd and family,
Just saw this thread , haven't been on in awhile. I hope everything goes good for ya'll. God does answer prayers and he will fix this. He just answered a prayer for me and I didn't even realize he had sent me the answer. it is awesome how He works, He makes it look so easy. I didn't dream the answer would come in this way. He really did the impossible to me. But then THAT'S what he does.

God bless ya'll.............
