Prayer Needed ~ Baby Max

Baby Max was born on Friday. He was a full term baby according to gestation, but it appears his lungs are quite immature. He was having difficulty breathing at birth and they took him for observation only to now say he'll be in the NICU for a couple of weeks until he learns how to breathe on his own. He developed a pneumothorax, aka a collapsed lung, so until that is better, he is stuck in the NICU.

Mom and Dad are quite distraught as they lost preemie triplets two years ago, one within hours of birth, one at about eleven days and the third after about five months. They know every nook and cranny of the ICU and dread that it is in their life again.

Please pray that baby Max's lung will reinflate without medical intervention as it is very extreme. Pray that his lungs start working the way the should and he can go home to be with his parents. Pray for his parents to have strength, patience, and peace as they are traversing this difficult road once again.
