Prayers

Often times we reach out to others for prayers for our family and friends. The prayers of many around the world can mean so much in times of need. Today, I ask that you lift up little Eli Ryan Wedehase. He was born Wednesday, the 18th, at 4:01 pm to a sweet young family that attends church with my mom. Jason and Tanya also have a young daughter, Paige, that you can include in your prayers.
At a regular scheduled ultrasound part-way through Tanya's pregnancy, it was discovered that little Eli had some issues with his heart and would require surgery shortly after birth and again multiple times as a small child. Eli was born Wednesday and yesterday went through a 12-hour surgery to repair his tiny heart. This battle is not yet over as he now faces recovering in the weeks and months to come. I'm including the link to their blog so you can read their story and share it with others as we join together in lifting the entire Wedehase family up in our prayers.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and more importantly, for blessing them by praying for them.

They are in my prayers - Hope all is still going well. Mike's niece Rebecca was born with a heart defect and had to have heart surgery, and more after. She has surgeries every 10 yrs now. She's 15 going on 16 and was the beautiful young girl in our bridal party. :-)
