Prayers Needed

As I mentioned in my earlier post today, Annabelle is having some extra heartbeats. We were just told that she has had at least 10 more episodes throughout the day today each consisting of about 7 extra heartbeats. They have increased her propanolol (the meds for the arrythmias) to give her an extra dose (from 4 to 5 doses a day). We were also told that if they don't stop/slow down or the medicine doesn't seem to be working within the next few hours then we will be sent back down to PCICU for closer monitoring. The attending PC felt that it would be best for her to be back there if these continue. We don't know what is causing them but know that God answers prayer. She wouldn't be here today without Him hearing and answering us. Please pray specifically for her heart to stop having these extra heartbeats so that she can continue healing.

Scott and Rebecca,

I am praying right now. I know that things will be fine and she will grow stronger and more stable each day.

Love, Laura

Rebecca,

I will pray extra for miss Annabelle, that those arrhythmias will be able to be controlled by the medicine and that she will be able to continue her healing on 7C instead of the PCIC. Ethan started having arrhythmias the day after he was moved up to his floor and had to go back down for closer monitoring, so it's not always a bad thing. Hang in there!

We are praying for Annabelle that God will calm her heart down. You know He has her cradled in His arms and is taking care of her heart. I will pray that He calms you and Scott also and that His will be done. She is precious and I know that this is a hurdle and His grace will prevail. God Bless you all and we will keep the prayer chains going.

Lord..please slow that little heart down so that she can stay with her mommy in 7C. Please keep her in your care and hold her close to you. Give the doctors wisdom to do what is best for her and help Scott and Rebecca to be comforted by your care. Please let them be calm so that Annablle can feel their steadiness and calm down too. In your name I pray.. Gretchen Westbrock

I will be praying for Annabelle. We had our share of Arrhythmia issues and I know it can be stressful for you all.

Dear Lord,
Every baby is a mircle from you! Please hold Annabelle extra close and keep her strong and healthy so that mommy, daddy, and big brother can watch this mircle of yours to grow into a vibrant young lady! I think of your family often and pray you will be home soon.
God Bless,
Rachel Whittaker
