[Magdalen] Prayer request

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Prayers rising !
My neighbor, a nurse in her late 30s, just went through this exact situation at 34 weeks with great success -she had a Cesarean and mom and babe's situation improved immediately after delivery - 5 weeks later all is still going well.

Oh, Grace. Not to worry about length of post.  Thank you for filling us in

who love them are in our prayers.  We will keep vigil with you, so please
update us as you can.
