Pre-Ecclamptic Prayers

Just today I've learned of two pregnant mothers, one 30 weeks along and the other, 32 weeks, who are experiencing pre-ecclamptic complications and need our prayers. The first has been battling with her situation for a few weeks, while the doctors have been attempting to postpone labor. She is now at the hospital readying to deliver the baby. Prayers for this precious life and the first-time parents would be so appreciated. The father is a fellow law student of GG's and the mother, an ecological biologist/professor at the university.

The latter of these women is the sister-in-law of one of my dear friends. The mother's bp has just begun to increase to more dangerous levels. She will be examined today to determine the cause of the increase and course of action for controlling it. She and her husband are also first-time parents and are undoubtedly worried. Please pray for a continued healthy pregnancy and for the doctors' skill in prolonging labor as long as possible!

Thank you for your prayers. I am so convinced God has special mercy for his tiniest children. I especially hope so when thinking of my two little miracles. May God have mercy on all of us.

Quick update--my friend's sister-in-law is now on bedrest and is seeing improvements in bp and swelling. What prayers you all have! Thank you...
