I would like to introduce you to my newest granddaughter , Eliana Elizabeth . Eliana was born on March 1, at only 24 weeks gestation & weighing 1lb.8oz. , She is a micro preemie miracle baby . For now she is living at Duke University Hospital Intensive Care Nursery . She is doing very well but she has to stay in the hospital for at least 3 months and she will be fighting for survival every day . Please PRAY for her , my daughter and her family and the Doctors and Nurses that are caring for her . I will keep you posted about her progress .
As I watched her for the first time as she lay in the incubator , I felt such wonder and awe at how beautiful ,perfect,wonderful and tiny she is . As Psalm 139 came to my mind I praised God for the miracle of her birth .
" For you created my inmost being ; You knit me together in my mother's womb.I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made , Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was formed in the secret place , when I was woven in the depths of the earth.Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be ."
I am linking to Spiritual Sundays .
Love & Blessings,
~Myrna
Dear Myrna,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the birth of your new granddaughter! How tiny; how precious she is! I will definitely keep Eliana in my prayers!
I have had folks praying for my little granddaughter too who is three months old today. She had been in the hospital with severe RSV but was released this week. Her lungs are clearer but she still has a way to go. She was also born pre-mature by three weeks. She is my only grandaughter.
How wonderful to be blessed a grandmother! Wishing you a delightful weekend.
Blessings,
Sandi

What a precious little miracle. I will be praying for this little one. She has a beautiful name. Congrats to you, Grandma!
ReplyDeleteAw,so fun to visit here and see new life welcomed into the world. Welcome Eliana! I'm sure God had you in His mind before He even knit you in your mother's womb. Welcome...
ReplyDeleteI love those verses...

She is beautiful! I had too preemies, now 23 and 25. We will keep her in our prayers!
ReplyDeleteI will pray for her...this little life....that He created....so tiny...so fragile and yet.....who will grow strong and steady in HIm....
ReplyDeleteWhat a tiny little bundle of joy. Some day she will look back - when she's trying to lose weight - and say you should have seen me when I was born. It will be a great topic of conversation for her. In the meantime, I'm adding my prayers for her.
ReplyDeletePrayers and blessings,
Charlotte
Praying right now. She may be little, but I bet God has BIG plans for her!
ReplyDeleteShe is so precious! Congrats! Congrats! I will be joining you in prayer for her and her parents.:)

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I am lifting your precious little one up in prayer.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a precious adorable gift from God! Two of my grandchildren spent quite a bit of time in the nicu many years ago. I still remember what a blessing everyone there was. Praying for speedy growth and healing for her and health and encouragement for all of you. And BLESSINGS and CONGRATULATIONS!
ReplyDeleteEach child is a miracle from God. Your precious Elaina is held in His hand--and I'm praying for not only her, but for her mommy and daddy who have to walk this long wait for her to come home and for your heart, too.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Pamela

We pray for the family and friends surrounding this little one that you will hear our prayers and help us support each other on this journey. We put our trust in you and thank you for Eliana's precious safe birth and her life. Your precious gift to us. In Jesus name, amen.
ReplyDeleteSaw your post on surgery on FB and still praying through the storm.
ReplyDeleteWow! Congratulations on the miracle that is your grandbaby. May she grow strong and healthy very soon.
ReplyDeleteStill praying for Eliana. I can't wait to hear a praise report for this precious baby girl!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessed gift is a grandchild ... I pray that sweet little Eliana will be healthy and strong soon. My grandson, who is now 6 months old, was born early and with bi-lateral cleft palates and he struggled so hard to be able to eat. He came through it fine, had his first surgery to correct his lip and nose and then got RSV and had to be hospitalized again. But all is well again ... bless be the power of prayer!!!
