Please pray for this situation (see below).  Jennifer (the lady who sent the e-mail) is in my Sunday school class.  I don't normally send these, but this one need prayer.  Unreal.

Hi Class,
 
A little over a year ago, my brother-in-law's 3 year old niece died suddenly.  She complained of a stomach ache and her mother took her to the hospital which gave her some nausea medicine and sent her home.  Her heart stopped beating and she died less than 24 hours later.  Her younger sister, Bailey, who is now 3 years old complained of the same symptoms and her mother took her to the same hospital which also sent her home.  However, when her father got home, he took Bailey back and demanded a little more attention.  After being sent to Egleston, her heart was described to her parents as "half dead".  Her organs are shutting down.  They are trying to control her heart beat with medication while they wait for a heart transplant.  The doctor told them that five children in a million  have this problem and of the 5, 1 lives.  They determined that the daughter who died last year had the same disease.  Will you please pray for this family?  They have no church home and very few people to stand in the gap for them.  They lost one 3 year old a year ago and are now facing losing their only other child.  The girl's name is Bailey and her parents are Mikey and Tia.  She is in ICU at Egleston which is where she will most likely remain until they find a heart for her tiny body.  I could never wrap my mind around the grief that experienced last year and now to be facing it all over again is unimaginable.
 
Thank you
Jennifer
