Whisper A Prayer

An email from a very special friend:

Dear Friends and Family,

As most of you may know, we are 6 months pregnant with our first baby! We are having a boy and his name is Dylan Mitchell. We have had some difficult news this week and we need all of you to pray for us. Through ultrasound, the doctors discovered Dylan has a heart condition called hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Basically, for some unknown reason the left side of his heart is underdeveloped. Because of this, Dylan will require at least 3 open heart surgeries starting the week he is born. This is one of the most complicated heart problems a baby can be born with. We have met with a pediatric cardiologist who will be referring us to Atlanta where they will be taking care of him. We are very fortunate to be close to one of the top pediatric cardiac hospitals where they can perform the necessary procedures with much expertise and exceptional outcomes. Also, we plan on delivering Dylan early in Atlanta so he will be close to Sibley Heart Hospital. Please pray for all we have to prepare for. Mitchell was supposed to deploy a few months after Dylan's birth. This looks to be unlikely due to our situation, please pray that it will all work out. Also, pray that our insurance will cooperate with all we need. Pray for Dylan's health and also for Sammy's. We also need prayer for emotional sanity...this has been a tough week. We are trusting in God for our little miracle baby.

God bless,

Mitch and Sammy Finnesgard
