Baby Luke a newborn who is now 4 days old continues to struggle for his existence. My DIL has asked me to pray for him and his family. He is the grandson of one of her co-workers. Due to maternal health conditions, Baby Luke was born by C-section on 1/23/24. He has acute infant respiratory distress and is being treated in the NICU for immature lungs. On the 2nd day of his life his right lung collapsed and a chest tube had to be inserted. On his 3rd day of life his left lung collapsed and had another chest tube was inserted. Today he seems to be holding steady per a message from his grandmother. Please add this sweet baby to your prayer intentions that through the grace of God he may continue to gain strength and improve in health.

Update on Baby Luke: It has been a rough first week of life but he has survived. Yesterday after the chest x-ray showed that both lungs had expanded, the Drs. removed the chest tubes. He still has a N/G tube for feeding him his mother's milk but supplemental I/V fluids have been discontinued. Also his Momma finally got to briefly hold him. His care continues in the NICU out of caution. O2 by nasal cannula is given depending on his need. Grandma had to go home and back to work but related to my DIL her gratitude for the prayers said on behalf of Baby Luke. Hopefully by the grace of God he will be able to go home soon. Prayer changes things and in this incidence for a precious new life, it did make the difference.

My Lord and my God. Baby Luke is recovering with your grace. Will You kindly touch his little body and heal him? You, Lord, are sovereign even over doctors and sickness. You created us, and You redeemed us. I pray, my blessed Lord, for You to show Your power and heal baby Luke. May You get the glory. Thank you Father!

Baby Luke is 2 weeks old today and I'm glad to be able to share the following update about him from my daughter in law.
'Baby Luke is home! He is doing well thanks to God's grace and everyone's prayers! He is thriving, thank God.'
So grateful to all who prayed for his health and well being. 🙏

My DIL has let me know that Baby Luke is doing well and thriving as the baby brother in his family of four. He is living a normal newborn's life meeting the expected developmental goals for his age without any problems due to his first couple difficult weeks of life. Prayers should now be directed to God in thanks giving for His goodness and mercy on the behalf of Baby Luke's survival. Appreciation to those who took their time to pray for him and his family.
