I need prayers

A friend just had a baby (at home) - We are delighted that she made it to term (36 weeks) after previously delivering at preemie at 31 weeks...but they noted some respitory distress and brought the baby to the hospital.

The baby has been in the NICU for a few days, and now developed a pneumothorax (hole in lung resulted in a collapsed lung) last night. Thank goodness they caught it early and it's vented so he'll probably be fine. Andrew had one so I know how completely terrifying it can be and I feel for our friends. I'm reading their blog and I feel like I'm reliving our experience and it makes me so sad. They also have 4 other little ones (under the age of 5) at home.
