August 27 Update

JESUS, WE TRUST IN YOU! This is another long post but I hope you'll read it to the end. 🙏🏻

Three weeks ago, we rushed to the hospital because, apparently, my water bag was leaking. I was admitted to the High Risk Pregnancy Unit and three days later, our fifth child was born, at 34 weeks old. We stayed in the hospital for two more weeks, and rejoiced that we were finally able to go home last week.

However, Baby Tommy still needs your prayers as he is not gaining weight as expected. We have already consulted his neonatologist and we hope that, in the coming days, his condition will improve so that he will finally be in the pink of health.

Truth be told, Anthony and I are oh so tired. The past weeks have drained us physically, emotionally, financially. We thought that once Baby Tommy was home, there wouldn't be any challenges anymore (beyond the usual challenges of having a newborn again at home). We went through something like this before (weight gain issues) with two of our other kids but still, it is a challenge that, if given a choice, we would gladly forego.

Yes, we are weary but put our hope in the Lord and Our Lady's intercession. We declare God's goodness, healing, mercy, and provision not only in Baby Tommy's life and the life of all our family members but in the life of everyone who reads this.

So, if you do get to read this to the end, may we request for your continued prayers? In your kindness, please keep praying for our Baby Thomas Anthony and the rest of our family. Thank you and please be assured that we are praying for you too. 🙏🏻 Let's also pray for all those who need healing in body, mind, and spirit.

Mama Mary, pray for us.

God bless us all!
