URGENT prayer request

This was sent to me, by email, by Mary Collins: I don't know if you guys remember or not but about 8 or 9 months ago I requested prayer for a co-workers baby granddaughter, Krisma, who was going to have major heart surgery. That surgery was a success at the time, however, as her body has grown in length, she has not gained a lot of weight. She turned 1 yr old on Friday, June 13 and she is only the size of a 7 - 8 month old. A little over a month ago she underwent another surgery to replace the aortic valve with an artificial one. She has not been able to be taken off the ventilator since. They have been keeping her in a drug induced coma. She has continued to become weaker, fluid keeps building up in her lungs and they keep draining it. They had to do a heart cath last week and they are saying that the mitral valve is not working properly and the left ventricle is also not functioning right. Her parents were told this weekend that they need to make the decision of whether or not to put her on the transplant list. The doctors say that a heart transplant is the only option now. However, they don't know if she will survive long enough to receive it or even if she would survive the transplant. This baby is in critical condition and I would appreciate if the whole church would please start to pray for this entire family. Linda (grandmother and my co-worker) is financially supporting this whole family and is in danger of losing her job because of the time she is needing to take off to be with them and her only granddaughter. Adam and Michelle (father and mother) are only in their early 20's with another child Keaton (2 yrs old), they are living in the Ronald McDonald house in Columbus and taking turns being with their daughter. They are devastated and completely overwhelmed. There are so many questions that no one can answer. ***I removed the last names for privacy....and because God doesn't need them, He already knows who they are.*** God can do all things and in His own time. Please, pray for this family and their physical, spiritual and emotional health. Prayer is the only thing that really matters here.....obviously, the doctors are at a loss and have hit the end of what they know to do. Krisma (the beautiful baby girl) is in God's hands.
