Prayer Requests

[HFrog1999]

I couldn’t find a thread for prayer requests and thought we might need one.

I’ll start.

My son and his girlfriend had their first sonogram today.

They sent me the video of her beating heart and her moving her thumb to her mouth.

We were so happy to finally see her.

Then we learned she has no kidneys.

My son’s girlfriend will carry my granddaughter until she either dies in the womb or will most likely be born alive and die shortly thereafter.

This is devastating news for everyone so please keep us in your prayers.

So sorry to hear this news. That’s devastating.

Thank you

I’m really sick of all of the death, despair and misery we’ve had over the last few years

I was hoping for new life

Now we get more death

I would ask for a second ultrasound by a different sonographer before making too many decisions. People are human and ultrasound is not a perfect tool. We had an experience with our fourth child that was similarly frightening and then went back after someone else read the ultrasound exam and they said everything is fine. Here’s hoping it’s a mistake but prayers for your family during this terribly stressful time.

prayers, there are no good words, there is no way to understand why, and I know when my wife miscarried with our first child how hollow we felt, still feel it from time to time

you can feel mad, angry, cheated, forgotten, feelings i can't imagine ,but remember you are not alone, there are people who care, and never be afraid to ask for prayers or help

Renal agenesis is the term for it. I don’t know much about it. I’m so sorry for this terrible news.

Indeed they and you and your family are in my prayers. No one should ever have to go through that.

Very sorry to hear this news, HFrog. Thoughts and prayers, indeed.

The good tcudoc continues to give great advice and be a solid poster/human... great suggestion, IMO.

Gracious God,

In this moment of profound sorrow, we seek your strength as we grapple with devastating news about a precious and fragile life within the womb. May HFrog1999 and his family find refuge in you. May they find hope in you. We ask for your strength to support HFrog1999 as he navigates this journey. May your presence be felt by the parents, grandparents, by the loved ones who stand by them, and by the healthcare providers who extend their care and compassion. Grant grace to find beauty in the briefest of moments, to cherish the memories that could have been, and to honor the profound impact of a life that touched us so briefly. In this darkness, help us remember that you are the ultimate source of light and we ask that your arms wrap around HFrog1999 and guide him towards understanding, acceptance, and peace.

Amen

Prayers sent.

I wish you all comfort and strength.

Prayers for you and yours, HFrog.

 

[Dogfrog]

HFrog, We are praying for you and your family.

 

[TxFrog1999]

I'm really saddened to hear this news and our family will be keeping your granddaughter, your son, the mother, and your family in prayer. I also want to second doc's suggestion as we also received incorrect information at our first sonogram of our son as well as incorrect results from a laboratory test; I highly recommend getting a second opinion.

Thanks. It’s my understanding that there’s pretty much no amniotic fluid and the baby doesn’t have any kidneys.

My son had driven up from Stephenville and stayed for the sonogram. He was happy when he saw the video of what he thought was his healthy daughter. He had to drive back for his first college class so he wasn’t there when they learned the news.

My son’s girlfriend’s mother was very distraught and was seeking out any remedy no matter the cost

My son’s girlfriend is planning on continuing to go to all the appointments and give birth to her daughter and love her for the few brief moments she’s alive

It’s a tough situation and we don’t really know what to do except give love and support when needed and give space when requested

My son is off for his first semester in college and I don’t really know how to help him deal with this and navigate his life and his relationship

Before we found out, he had bought a ring and wanted to propose but she didn’t want to marry him, so he went to school while she stayed here to finish high school

Thankfully he’s not far away and they’re still together, but I don’t know how they can deal with this.

Everyone involved needs to figure out how to deal with the grief

not that you aren't already doing this, but continually making sure he knows he has his family by him and that he and her are loved regardless of the result

that she will always be a loved part of your family

there is no playbook for this and I would suspect he is going to have a variety of thoughts and feelings . talking is a big step

would be great if he found a healthy way to release all these feelings as that applies to all in the family
