Today some dear friends of mine, Beth and Andy Emmitt, are traveling down to Ann Arbor, MI to have their first child, affectionately know as Baby Emmitt until it is born and named. Due to some extenuating circumstances and an extremely astute technician, it was discovered that Baby Emmitt has a few issues with its heart that will need to be corrected surgically sometime in the next several days. But those prayers requests will come at that time. Today or tomorrow, whenever the baby is delivered, should be a time of celebration and joy for Beth and Andy as they welcome their son or daughter into this world. They have started a blog to keep everyone up to date. I have added it to my list, but I will also be including some updates and prayer requests here.
Please keep this family in your prayers.
Specific Requests –
- Safe travel down to Ann Arbor this afternoon.
- Thankfulness that Beth did not go into labor early and needed to be transported to Ann Arbor under an emergency setting.
-That healing and development has taken place over the past couple weeks and the baby is born in the best possible shape.
- For a fast, smooth, normal delivery with out any complications.
- That the baby is big (not so great for Mom, but bigger babies do better in surgery) and healthy.
- That Beth and Andy can feel the support from those who are praying for them.
- That Beth and Andy can agree on a name. :)
- That Beth and Andy can enjoy the wonder and excitement of meeting their child and having time to savory these memories without it being clouded by what will come over the next days.
