Bronte' Adele Graebner- Prayer Request

Bronte' Adele Graebner- Born 11.01.11 at 4:59am, 29 Weeks Old- 2lbs, 12oz.

This is a prayer request for our dearest friends Nick and Emily Graebner who just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl (their 1st child) at just 29 weeks old weighing in at just over 2lbs. There were some complications with the pregnancy and ultimately lead to Bronte' being born November 1st, 2011 at San Diego Sharp's Mary Birch Hospital. This road has already been a long and difficult one for this precious now family of 3, and we're asking for Big Time prayers to go out to this little girl who is truly fighting so hard every step of the way. Mama (Emily) is doing well after having went through an emergency C Section early that morning, however, she is also recooperating from that massive surgery herself, while her little one is in the intensive care section in the NICU of the hospital, but is under excellent care as this hospital specializes in preemies/monitoring & development etc. Please be praying strong prayers for this precious couple and for God to give them strength and encouragement throughout this process, as Bronte' will need to be kept in the NICU for many weeks of close monitoring- most likely until later January 2012, (which 01.17.12), would have been her actual due date. They had to sedate little Bronte' and paralyze her with medication as she kept trying to pull out her little breathing/feeding tubes, however, prior to the sedation Emily stated that her daddy (Nick) was with her and she was moving around lots and when he would talk to her, she would turn towards her daddy to listen in on all that he had to say. Medically, she does have some air pockets surrounding her lungs and heart, although, the doctors say they appear to be getting better, but they are keeping her in the intensive care section due to these reasons. She also has an infection in her respiratory system from when in the womb and the water having broken so early on. She did have a brain scan and no bleeding/nor abnormalities were found, praise the Lord! Nick was even able to change her diaper and check her temperature for the 1st time, so that was a blessing...but made mommy a bit jealous but of course...:) ... all in all, this little 2 lb baby girl is in the fight for her life right now, is sick and needs all the prayers she can get to pull her through this rocky road. She is a little miracle and we know the Lord has huge plans for her life!

To our little niece Bronte'- We love you precious one, keep fighting and be strong beautiful girl!!!...Lord, we pray health and life over this beautiful and precious baby girl this very minute! Wrap her up in your mighty, mighty arms Father and let Your Holy Spirit flow through her body and bring healing to every part that brings concern to the doctors and medical staff... let her life be a walking and breathing testimony of Your love for us all. Let Bronte' go on to speak about You, and You alone saved her life and that miracles do happen, especially to those who believe in You God! Father, we pray that the doctors will be truly astounded at how well and how fast she is healing and growing into an even more beautiful and healthy little girl. Lord, allow Your plan to fall into place and let this little one accomplish all that You have in store for her life. Bring comfort, encouragement and even more strength to her parents Father. Give them a knowing and an understanding that You have everything under control and You are right there with her/in her Father allowing your angels to surround her during this time. We know as Christians that You permit for trials and tribulations to happen in our lives so that we may speak of You and Your Amazing and Unconditional Love to those who don't know You, and that is the only reason you created us and why we're even here to begin with. God, we pray that Bronte' will go on to do Your work for the Kingdom of God in her lifetime, and that she will teach us all in so many ways and share about You to so many people in need. Lord, we pray against the enemy and his attack on this family right now! We bind the work of him and his evil ways God... protect this precious little soul Father and let her surpass all medical doubts or concerns with any health complications. God- pull this family through this time..and let everyone- far and wide (knowing or not knowing this family) continue to pray strong prayers for this baby girl/her health and life and her parents. Lord, you are an AMAZING God and we lift up Bronte' Adele Graebner to You right now and dedicate her life to You and for the Glory of You! Heal her Lord of all the medical issues and sicknesses that she is battling in her tiny little frame! We put our complete trust in You and know that she and all babies are truly precious blessings sent to us from up above. Surround her with your Holy Spirit and the mightiest of angels! We love you our beautiful niece!

All of our love, Uncle Colby and Aunt Kelsey
