Update


Well.....we need your prayers. The good news it that we found out now and can be prepared and deliver at the best hospital. But Baby Sam has 1, possibly 3 heart defects. He'll need surgery after he's born and he'll spend a good deal of time in the NICU getting well. Our world is spinning, but we cherish your prayers. God is watching over our baby boy.


ps. Does anyone know how to make one of those 'pray for Baby Sam' buttons?

  5. What? Oh Erica, I'm praying for you and baby Sam now! What a blessing it is that you found out now so everyone can prepare and he can get the best medical care starting now.

    Sweetie, I'm just aching for you. I know you are a wreck and I'm praying for lots of peace, wisdom and comfort for you all.

    I'll post a prayer request on my blog tonight!

  7. Erica I am so sorry to hear this scary news. We had prayer service tonight at church and I asked some of the ladies to keep you and Sam in their prayers. My hubby always says you can lose no fight fought on your knees. We are praying so much for you all right now.
