Rough Week

[Roaring River Veteran]

Well all I just wanted to ask for your help for some friends of mine. I found out Wednesday at church that one of my friends wives was diagnosed with stage 3 aggressive breast cancer. They are currently in Little Rock going through the test and treatment options. They have 3 kids the oldest is a senior in HS and the youngest is a 1st grader. Her name is Carmen and they could all use your prayers.

Today I received the following email from another friend of mine. They too could use your help.

My brother Gerry and his wife Jenny are expecting their first child due in January, a little boy whom they have decided to name Cameron Jake. Jenny was admitted to the hospital last night after some cramping and they found some fluid in the baby’s bowels and even though his heartbeat is irregular, it is still strong.

After talking to Gerry, Jenny has high blood pressure and has preeclampsia. She is going to remain in the hospital until she delivers, but the doctor’s are giving them worse cause scenarios, along with talking about possible developmental problems and Down syndrome. Right now Jenny is 25 weeks along, but if they can keep him in the womb until 28 weeks he has a better chance of surviving. If Cameron is still having problems pumping the blood back thru and runs into complications they are going to have to deliver him early.

Thanks in advance.
