Hi all, I have an urgent prayer request for one of our favorite micro-preemies. Braden is a three year old former 24-weeker, and he, like Dax, survives his twin sister. Braden has beaten so many odds, and he has just blossomed since having his trach removed a few months ago. He even started tae kwan do classes last week! But now, Braden is lying sedated in the PICU at Vandy Children's, intubated, and fighting pneumonia and a cardiac issue that the doctors haven't gotten figured out yet. There are so many questions and so few answers right now and the family covets your prayers of healing for his lungs and heart as well as prayers for their strength and wisdom for the medical professionals.
Vandy has a free, quick and easy e-card service that allows you to personalize. Card and send it to Braden's room. If any of you have ever been there you know how important words of encouragement and faith are appreciated... You can use this link to send Braden a card... He is in room 5423.

You can also follow their updates and offer support on the family's blog, http://braden-kaleigh.blogspot.com/.
Thank you all so much for the prayers! This is a NICU parent's worst fear, and they're living it right now.
