The Power of Prayer

I don't know if you all remember when my friend had her baby at 24 weeks by emergency c-section last April. They named him Luke and the doctors weren't always positive about him and his survival. They gave him a 30% chance of survival and even if he beat those odds, he *could* be facing many obstacles in his life. He spent almost 5 months in the neonatal unit at Children's Hospital having many ups and downs. He came home Monday, just 2 days shy of being 5 months old. He is doing great at home and my friend and her husband are experiencing all the wonderful things that come along with bringing a baby home, especially sleepless nights!

They took him today for a visit to his pediatrician here, and was tested for cerebral palsy and other debilitating illnesses. Initial tests show that he is clear of the the obstacles they had originally prepared them for. And the pediatrician said he is nothing short of a miracle. He had so many people praying for him and asking God to watch over him, and he is doing great now. If this isn't a true testament to the power of God and prayer, I don't know what is.
