Request for Prayer for a very little one (and her mom).

This is a photograph taken by a friend of mine of her brother in law's fingers next to his baby daughter's hand.  Due to medical emergency it was necessary to deliver her on Wednesday at 25 weeks 4 days.  She weighed 1 lb 3 oz at birth.  Yesterday she lost 1 oz.  The doctors said the next 5 to 10 days are critical for her survival.

They have inserted a new respiratory tube that is supposed to stimulate her lungs.

Her mother is doing better.  Please pray for this family.  They have three other children at home.

Thank you!

UPDATE: This is from their Caring Bridge just now--
"Saturday morn...

Just a quick update before the doctor comes in.  (Mom's name)  had a pretty good night until this morning.  Her blood pressure is VERY high. (210/120)  I am asking for some more of those prayers so the doctors can figure this whole thing out and get her blood pressure under control for good.  I will update more the doc. is coming in.  Thank you and continued prayers!!  (signed Dad's name.)"

Thank you.
