Please join us in praying at 3:00 pm (central time) for our beautiful children
affected by trisomy 13, other genetic syndromes, as well any birth defects. For
those of us who are Christian, 3:00 is known to be the hour of mercy. We ask God
to shower his mercy, once again as he did at Calvary, upon our children, and all
children - our families, and all families.
The 3:00 hour is also special because "3" is the special genetic signature for
all persons with a trisomy syndrome. We can join together at 3:00 in our hearts,
wherever we may be, to express our gratitude for having been blessed with our
special children in a prayer of praise. We can ask for blessings for our
children, all children, and one another at this time, knowing that all over the
world other parents are praying too. We share a communion of solidarity, a
vision of hope, and memories of beautiful babies and children.

Our prayer:
Thank you dear Lord Jesus, for the gift of our children. You have graced us
beyond our comprehension. Please guide us in the care of these Treasures. Give
us wisdom to make the best decisions for them. Give us patience and charity so
that we can advocate for your precious ones. Give us fortitude, so that we will
not give up before it is time. Give us peace when our hearts our troubled with
worry. Bless our children with all that they need in this life.
And for our children who have gone to be with You, thank you for holding them in
eternity as tenderly as we held them on earth. |
Bless all of the
little babies in this world, each is a special gift to us whether a part of our
life for merely a minute or for years. Each gives us a special joy, each shares
their special talents. May each of them be protected by angels, may each of them
be given a chance to reach their potential. May health providers be reminded
that all life has value, each life counts and all parents have the right to
choose the chance for life for their child no matter what the diagnosis. The
only one that knows what is to be is God, and he in his time reveals his plan to
us even though we may not understand it at the time.

Taylor James Passmore age, 16, passed yesterday in his
sleep. He had a severe bought of Pancreatitus in October 2008, he had his gall
bladder removed in January 2009 and never returned to his regular eating habits,
so was fed his through his feeding tube intermittently...via Ngtube. We were in
contact to get a g-tube inserted but had not yet done that. He was getting
weaker over the last week and was not his active self.
Yesterday we got him up and had a long time loving and holding him, put him on
the floor to play and he wanted to sleep so I put him back in bed and he passed
in his sleep several hours later.
Please keep our family in your prayers, thank you.

Hi Everyone! Just wanted to update everyone on the murmur they found in
Grace's heart 2 weeks ago. Her mitral valve is too
thick and is leaking blood back the wrong direction. More importantly, she has
coarctation of the aorta. Her aorta is too narrow in one part, causing high
blood pressure and most of her blood going to the upper parts of her body. Not
much goes to her lower body. This Monday, March 30 they will put a catheter in
her leg artery and go up to her aorta where they will stretch out her aorta with
a balloon. They say this is a safe and simple procedure. She will be in the
hospital overnight. Please pray that Grace will do well through the procedure,
that her artery is strong, and that the procedure will be successful. Otherwise
they will need to possibly do surgery. Please also pray against the risk of
aneurisms developing after the procedure. Thanks so much, Cami Lundt, mom to
Grace Lundt , Full T13 and almost 2yrs. old (on April
10!!) |

Just thought you would want to know that Penny, mom to
Devon was in a car accident yesterday on her way shopping. Her car is non
drivable, the front in is smashed in. The airbags went off. Luckily there was a
policeman behind her that saw everything. It was not her fault. They took her by
ambulance to the hospital just for precautionary reasons. They did X-Rays on her
that showed no broken bones, but she is really sore and hurting all over
especially her neck and head and shoulders. So in the meantime she is without a
car, don’t know how much damage there was to it. Just thought that you would
want to know. Say some prayers for them. Luckily she is off from school this
coming week, but they are suppose to take Devon to the genetic clinic tomorrow,
but I don’t think that is going to happen. Donna |
