broken heart.

I dont know if this is socially appropriate b/c I've always been a little socially akward and with the new internet age, I dont know if there is certain protocol. I'll only leave it up a short time, and my sole intent with this post is to get everyone who reads it to pray for this family.

my heart was broken this week for one of my good friends from college. She lost her 7 week old baby...I'm pasting this from an email.

Last week she (the baby) was having a problem keeping milk down but theythought it was reflux. They took her to the hospital on Wednesdayafternoon and the doctors ran bunches of tests and ruled it a "virus"that had to "run it's course." On Thursday they brought her back fora check in and she had lost 2oz. so the doctors just told Christy and Aaron to keep giving her Pedia-lite every 20 min and keep feeding her. They did this throughout the weekend and she seemed to be recovering well. However, on Sunday night at midnight, Christy noticed Emeline was disoriented and very lethargic during her feeding. They took her temp and it was right at 100 so they immediately took her to the hospital because they knew something wasn't right. She was whimperinga lot and clammy. Once they got to the Abbeville hospital she had passed away. Christy said she died in her arms. Christy and Aaron had time with her from then until 5am.

it's just been so heavy on my heart this week and wanted to share it so that you can pray for this family. If you'd just take a minute right now and just lift up this family...that'd be awesome. Rest, peace, comfort, safety and healing are suggestions.
