Hey guys. Well...Elias and Vennessa hadn't planned on delivering their baby until Tuesday (still 10 weeks early), but unfortunately, Arabelle (meaning "Answered Prayer") showed little signs of life today, and an emergency C-section took place around 11:30 this morning. Open-heart surgery had been planned immediately after delivery, but due to her weakness, it has been postponed, and possibly upgraded to a heart-TRANSPLANT procedure. Doctors have drained some fluid from her head and her facial deformities have receded, so that's a great start to possible recovery. No one has mentioned possible brain damage, which I'm hoping is a good thing. Vennessa is doing fine, although she and Elias have a rough road ahead over the next few days. So...I can say people is...pray for them...pray for Anika...and, most of all, pray for Arabelle. God's working in this somewhere and somehow...and even though I can't see how, I'm hoping and praying that he heals her little body and comforts her family...and us...
Please do the same...
We love you Garcias!!
God bless...
