Baby Jude needs your prayers!

One of my best friends and coworker of 10 years had a little boy in Sept, Baby Jude Ortiz. He is so precious, little gift from God. During Jennifer's pregnancy she was told there were problems with Jude's brain. She went through many tests and the Dr's encouraged her to terminate the pregnancy. Jude was born 09/02/08, beautiful as ever. He has been growing and developing like normal, except that his head size was in the lower percentile. Other than that, he smiles, laughs, has learned to roll over, all the sweet things babies do in the first few months.

Last week, Jude started having seizures. After a few days of spells the Neorologist (sp?) finally advised them to take him into Cooks ER. After many tests, an MRI, they have been told that he may not make it past early childhood, and will not live as a normal child. Jenn & Mike are such great people and truly need all the prayers they can get! They need prayers to keep their strength so they can be strong for baby Jude and strong for eachother. Click on Baby Jude in "blog life" on the right to read more about Baby Jude. Jennifer updates her blog pretty frequently to help keep her family and friends updated. We love ya'll!!

I am finally getting chance to see why so many people have found my blog. I kept hearing "I read on Sarah's page" and was confused. I know see what you have posted. You are so patient with me being out of work, and are such a loyal friend. Forever and always you will be in my life. Thank you for all you have done for Jude. He loves you too!
