Praying for Jonah

So, you may have noticed I added a "praying for Jonah" button on my blog. Let me tell you a little about this family that I've never met, but love so dearly.

Patrice and Matt Williams lost their first son, Gabriel, at 37 weeks. It was unexpected and they were devastated.

A while later, she got pregnant again with their second son, Jonah. He was seemingly healthy and delivered full-term. Once he was born, they noticed something was very wrong with his skin. Well, long story made short, he has a genetic skin condition that they believe Gabe also had. It is VERY rare and causes his skin to blister at the slightest touch. There are three different forms (they haven't heard which form Jonah has.) It makes Jonah very, very susceptible to infection, cancer, and possibly even death.

Please pray for this sweet family. Jonah is now two weeks old, and yesterday he had a "perfect" day! I can't believe the agony his parents are going through, as they mourn sweet Gabe and care for baby Jonah. This little baby is a fighter- he suffers great pain that we can't even begin to imagine.

They are a true testimony of what "faith" means.
