As with each team we bring to Uganda, we spend time at different types of ministries to
expose each team member to different types of ministry here in Uganda.
Our team’s path crossed a teenie-tiny newborn set of twins.
We have been praying and loving on them.
They are so tiny and today we noticed that one is not doing well.
At. all.
Two years ago after loving on Elianah Treasure
{who passed away the very next day} I promised myself
that I would advocate for care anytime I was even a little bit
concerned about a tender treasure.
Today it was one of these little twins who drew such concern
from Jody and I that I went immediately to advocate for special care.
We spent time today, as a team, interceding for this life.
We are fervently praying that this little one {on the right}
will make it through the night.
Please pray with us for S.
The weight when they arrived was 1.4 kilos and, clearly,
more weight has been lost.
The cheeks are more sunken then ever.
Pray with us, please.
praying with you! I'll get my teen girls at church to pray as well tonight! This brings so much emotion, as I'm a twin (was the smaller and frailer one when we were born, I was a miracle). I can't imagine having been born where great medical care is almost non-existent. Praying for the team and I know my God can heal this precious baby! He is greater! *And praying for Emma's heart, because I remember.
PRAYING
PRAYING!
Pouring out prayers for them. What sweeties!
Praying! I too was the smaller twin and my heart breaks for these itty bitty ones! Please God restore these babies to full health and let them thrive!
Praying with you . . . love you.
Linnie–Just saw an article the other day about tiny twins and one was struggling. As a last ditch effort, the healthier twin was put skin to skin with the one who was suffering and the sick twin got better!! Could they be swaddled together??? Is "S" being fed little bits with a dropper every few minutes?????
I love that idea! We will see what we can do. We are on our way there this morning.
Oh my goodness, such little ones…I am praying for those babies!
praying for those precious little ones!
Praying!
Praying with you!
So many little ones with no forever family just yet have been so very sick lately. Breaks my heart, and yet I know they are not outside of His hand of healing. We will add this precious tiny one to our prayers for healing!
DONE!! I will continue to pray for that tiny treasure.
Praying with you for S…
oh my. so precious. praying. xoxox
Linny, you've just broken this neonatal ICU nurse's heart. How simple it would be to give her the care she needs and nurse her back to health… *here*. Praying…
Yes, our hearts are broken with you. The fix would be easy. The director was open to my pleas. We pray this little one is still alive today.
As the momma of twin boys, these precious little ones are so close to my heart. Praying with you and for them.
Praying for that sweet baby
praying, they are so sweet.
Praying!!
Praying for the precious babies.
praying. and praising.
Praying here, Linnie, for this precious little child and for your team?
Love to you all, hollym.:)
Praying for these sweet babies.
Amy
Will be praying! Love the idea of placing both babies skin to skin. I have also heard that adult to baby skin to skin contact also works wonders.
Ok this is interesting…after I hit publish the usual security stuff popped up with the numbers 911…in Canada that is our universal emergency number…you think God is trying to tell me something?
Be still my heart. A little side story…we recently found out that we were expecting twins and were very excited. However, it was a complicated pregnancy to begin with and we ended up losing both twins 🙁 that aside, these sweet ones that need prayer have stolen my heart. I am praying.
Andee and Dave,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious treasures. May God continue to comfort your hearts and may He, who is more than able, fill your hearts and home with treasures from His heart. Love from Uganda…
