needing prayers, please

I am asking all the prayer warriors for your help. All through our pregnancy we have been told our little girl was healthy and everything was looking normal. Her chromosome testing came back normal so I thought that was the end of my worries. We had her anatomy scan done last week and that's when our world turned upside down. After several drs looking and consulting my dr pulled us into the counseling room. He started by telling us her arms are very shortened and her feet are very small. He went on to tell us that her kidneys may also not be formed right. I broke down in tears, how could this happen, there is no history and ive done everything right. So I'm begging for all that have faith please pray for our little blessing that the drs may be wrong. I can't even explain how I'm worried by this. We would appreciate it so much if you could help us raise her name to jesus, dear god please put your healing hands on Devin Angelise Mitchell and bless her with all your might, amen

Even though I know this is shocking,  try to keep positive for your little baby.  It is so hard for us, but in reality when someone is born a certain way and that is all they know ow, to that person it's not a handicap,  it's just a way of life and they grow up happy and healthy.  I am hoping that for the most part, everything internally and mentally is good with your little girl. As for the feet and arms, I think through time you will see how much she goes on with her life, smiling,  playing, and giggling without even a thought in her head of any other way.

Hello everyone thank you for continuing your prayers. We have gotten more answers and with that a mission. If I can change things and keep this from happening to another child and mother and father I will have succeeded. If you know anyone that has multiple sclerosis our even rheumatoid arthritis plz read this. We found out our baby has severe birth defects, along with a defect called phocomelia she also has severe heart defects. They have been linked to a medicine that I had taken last year for my ms. This was an immunomodulatory drug called aubagio. What we didnt know is that it stays in the mothers plasma for up to two years after the last dose. It has been proven to cause multiple severe defects and women are suppose to go through an accelerated elimination process to remove it from the plasma. I will be meeting with my drs again monday to see what we can do to make other drs aware of this. I don't want others to go through this pain. So plz with any medicine please do your research, and plz help other mothers that may not know how to go about getting information..these babies are innocent and don't deserve what some of these meds can do.

How do people who don't have strong faith face these difficulties?  Thank God you have faith in a higher power,  and a higher purpose.

Your life has now taken a fork.  The challenges you expected to face raising your beloved daughter will be different challenges now.

As bleak as this might seem now,  expect blessings.  

God bless,  and prayers for you and your little family.

I don't know you but something about your thread moved me so I have been following it. I feel compelled to tell you and your husband not to lose faith and that god is an 11th hour and 59th minute god he sees what you have and knows your need and if he does not move it is not because he cannot.it just means that he has something better in store for you and and yours. So I say keep seeking his face and fight through the negativity of the enemy because there is light if you hold on and see what the end will be. What does god say , trust him no matter what it looks like and even when you can't its OK to say god I'm trying but yet I don't understand. Still praying for you and yours.

Stay in faith,  God will see you through this hard times. No matter what any medical report may say, stay true to your faith, God is the only one that can create a miracle. Mark 11:24 "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours". Amen

I have just sent a special prayer for the lil one. Im sure God will bless her and she will be absolutely fine. My doctors had told me that I should expect a miscarriage as they could not see my baby in the 1st scan and the HCG level was very low. But due my faith in Him and the prayers of my friends and family, we saw d baby and d heard tge heart beat in the next scan. Just trust Him, he makes everything good. I will keep you and your baby in my prayers. God Bless

Once you called out The Creator name The Creator created in you a blessed gift. No matter what people say or assume that gift you have you will cherish and love more knowing that at some point while others i.e.drs had doubt but your faith brought a new creation too reality. PEACE AND BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. THE CREATOR IS LOVE AND LOVE CONQUERS ALL
