Please Pray!

in March 2012 Moms

A close friend of mine gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on Monday!  After 29 hours in labor, and 2 hours of pushing, they had to do an emergency c-section.  Mom is doing fine, but baby is in a private NICU room in an oxygen tent.  (Those are all the details I know right now..)  Parents are being optimistic, but I guess it's pretty serious.  

I've been talking to my friend, and praying for them, but I feel like I should be doing something more.   I've asked if she wants me to come see her, but she doesn't.  I'm not sure what else I can do for them.  Should I send flowers?  A card?  SOMETHING?  I'd really appreciate any feedback about what you guys think I should do.

Also, please pray for baby Abigail and her family.  Thanks.

    I'll say a prayer for them. I would probably send a gift card. If it looks like the baby was going to be in the hospital for awhile I'd probably send a starbucks one.

    I think either a gift card or some flowers. I am trying to think about what I would want if I was in that situation, and I do not think I would want visitors, but I would like to know that people are thinking and praying for us.

    I would just send a card, flowers while a great idea won't be allowed in the NICU, gift cards won't be utilized for awhile, I think prayers would be greatly appreciated, a good idea is dinner when they are finally home. Best wishes for them.

    A friend of mine gave birth in early July. Baby was healthy, but mom had serious complications. She ended up on a ventilator for several weeks (fortunately, she's much better now and was just sent home from the hospital today!). I know exactly how you're feeling- completely helpless- and it's frustrating. The best you can do for now is just keep sending positive T&Ps her way. 

    We gave my friend's H a gas gift card because he was driving back and forth a lot between their house and the hospital. We also sent cards to her house for her to enjoy when she got better, that way she knows people were thinking about her. I'd say either of these options could work for your friend. Hope the baby gets better soon!!

    Definitely a card. I also think dropping off some food at her house wouldn't be a bad idea. Making something that's easy to freeze/reheat (i.e.; lasagna) would be helpful. T&P's - I'm sure she'll recover quickly!

    I would say a meal or a gift card.  While they may not use it for a couple weeks, I'm certain it would be welcome.  Also, if they are going to be driving back and forth a lot, the gas gift card is also a good thought.
