Ive just had the worst 48 hours of my life . My wife passed on antibodies onto our new born son and they are attacking his red blood cells meaning he needed a full blood transfusion and to complicate matters his bloods quite rare too which made it difficult to obtain and check against the antibodies . He has UV lights right round him as well as its made him severly jaundice and there is a possibility of brain damage . Just to make matters worse my wife has had a few issues with bleeds , last night I was wondering what id done to upset the big man .
I got home tonight grabbed a beer sank into my chair and thought id check out how my misfits are getting on ( after a cry I might add) , you know maybe cheers me up reading a few funny comments but no just the opposite.
We all play this game to get away from real life crap but at the moments its the opposite
so while I have your attention ( and this is not directed at any individual ) please realise and accept we all have different opinions and while trying to convey your own do so with respect

Well as the padre I would like to offer a simple prayer my brother.
Heavenly Father,
We pray for your abundant blessings on this little newborn.
We look at this adorable child and by faith we see:
Soft little ears that will one day hear and receive the message of God's love and grace.
Bright little eyes that will one day notice the needs of others, and look for ways to express God's love to the world.
Precious little fingers that will one day reach out with acts of kindness to the world.
Cute little feet with tiny little toes that will one day grow into beautiful confident feet that will bring the Good News of Jesus to the world.**
Lord, we also see a tender little heart.
God, we pray that this child will always have an open heart to you and to your word.
May this child grow up to be a mighty man of God.
Amen
