Pray for Baby Gabriel
We were praying for baby Gabriel whilst he was in his mother’s womb, as he had been diagnosed with spina bifida and had an operation in-utero. Baby Gabriel was born in January, but is only now full term. He is now at home happily feeding and growing and bringing much joy to those around him.
Baby Gabriel has a cast on his legs, to treat dislocated hips and clubbed feet. Please pray for ongoing healing of his hips and feet and for a continuing improvement in the movement in his legs. Pray for the doctors who are treating him to be guided as to the best course of treatment. Pray for the family as they take baby Gabriel to all his hospital appointments.
May God bless baby Gabriel!
