"Michele" is pregnant and does not feel ready to be pregnant again after having a baby a few months ago. She recently obtained a restraining order against the father of her children due to abusive behavior. She is considering abortion because another child creates another connection to him. Before the ultrasound exam, Michele said she hopes to get an abortion, "...before it's alive." Her pregnancy was in its earliest stage and very little was visible on the screen. Her nurse gave her information on growth and development and explained the baby is alive now. Michele appreciated hearing the gospel but did not surrender her life to Christ. She made a return appointment and wants to see if her pregnancy is viable next week. Pray God reveals Himself to Michele and shows her a path forward in her life. Pray for all of her children to be able to grow and flourish by the grace of God. -------- "Pearl" is in her late twenties, has been battling severe nausea, is raising a toddler and lives with her mom. The father of this baby is in the military which presents unique challenges. She has told her mother about the pregnancy but feels the father of the baby cannot handle the news. Her mother supports her getting an abortion. After providing her with anti-nausea treatments, Pearl's nurse performed the ultrasound exam. To her surprise, Pearl learned she is carrying twins. Pearl decided to call her mom right away in the exam room and let her know. She was tearful and said she is overwhelmed. When her nurse shared the gospel with her and the opportunity to have peace in Christ, Pearl said, "I want that." She and her nurse prayed together. Pray for Pearl to turn to Christ and surrender her life to Him. Pray she has the strength and resolve to continue her pregnancy even as she battles severe nausea and these twins are spared from abortion. --------"Julia" came to her appointment at CompassCare with the father of her baby. The couple suffered the loss of a prematurely born child a couple of months ago. The child lived less than a week before passing away from multiple major organ failures. Pregnant again, Julia is concerned she could experience the same type of loss. The father of the baby openly blamed Julia for the loss of their child and he remained in the room for the entire appointment, which seemed to hinder Julia from freely speaking her mind. Julia did tell her nurse she feels conflicted; perhaps God is giving her a blessing after her loss. However, she is afraid people (including her mother) will judge her for wanting to carry this pregnancy. Because her pregnancy was too early to confirm, she agreed to come for another appointment to see if her pregnancy is viable. Julia's nurse has asked specifically for prayer that she can fully and clearly share the gospel with Julia at her next appointment. Please pray for this family to heal from loss and embrace the gift of this child.

From Mom Amy concerning Mahki: We are going the week of Thanksgiving in hopes that a new Endocrinology team can work with his GI doctor to figure out why he’s not growing. All of his recent bloodwork shows that he should be super fat so now they have to see where and how is body is absorbing the 2000+ calories he takes in every day, yet without making him gain weight or height. He’s still only 13lbs and almost 4 yrs old so he’s extremely failure to thrive. If they can figure this out and get him to grow, then he can continue on with his trach removal surgery, if not, then he will have to keep his trach because he’s not big enough to survive the surgery.

The family appreciates your prayer for this wonderful bundle of joy.
