Got an email from a friend who’s been trying to conceive for years. Apparently at the ultrasound today the baby measured two weeks behind where it should be, and had a heartbeat of about 80 (which may have been mom’s) instead of 150ish. She asks for prayers for her and her husband, and for the baby if it is still alive.
Father, hear our prayer for this child and for all who love her through Jesus Christ! Mother Mary, pray for them!
