Please pray for baby Gavin!

On December 17th a friend of mine gave birth to her second child, Gavin. He was born via emergency c-section due to low fluid in his sac. He was about 5 weeks early. He was immediately brought to the NICU and hooked up to ventilators. His lungs were not working when he was born.

I don't know very many details but I do know little Gavin is fighting for his life. He's had many ups and downs, but is still not breathing on his own. I know they had him on an ECMO machine and he's been taken off of that. I believe he is now on a ventilator again. They may have to do surgery to repair one of his lungs. Like I said I don't know the details, but if you pray, please say a prayer for this sweet baby boy...as well as his family. I cannot imagine the pain my friend is going through right now. Whether or not little Gavin makes it, this family is going to need lots of prayer! So please pray for sweet Gavin and if you can spread the word also! The power of prayer is amazing and God can create a miracle here if he so chooses!
