Bekah

Please pray for my friend Bekah (Kinzer) Gannon and her husband Chris.  I will probably get some of these details wrong, but here is the general story. Bekah is about 24-25 weeks pregnant with twin boys, Eli and Isaac.  They recently found that Eli has intrauterine growth restriction and is not getting the amount of bloodflow and nourishment that he needs through his umbilical cord.  This means that he is not growing like he should and his little heart is having to pump extra hard.  Bekah is starting to get steroid shots to try to stimulate the babies' growth and development so that if they need to take them early they will be as big as possible.  They are basically waiting for 2 weeks until she is 26 1/2 weeks.  Then they will have to make the hard decision of whether or not to take the babies or keep them in the womb to continue growing.  Either way there are risks. 

I could not imagine being in that situation.  They are just such a great couple and are continuing to praise God through this.   Please pray for little Isaac and Eli and also for Bekah and Chris.  We know that our God is powerful and faithful.
