Hello. My cousin is fostering a baby rescued from an abusive situation. This baby has two young siblings who were abused, but their problems aren’t nearly as bad as the baby’s. One sibling has nightmares.
The baby, “Baby E”, was three months old at the time, and not even seven pounds. He suffered a shattered femur, broken skull, and was beaten BLIND. I think from what I gather, his retinas came detached. He has had trouble keeping his sodium and temperature where they should be. He has been on (and still is on) a feeding tube, and most recently, was put on a ventilator after a nurse found him blue, struggling to breathe. Since going on the ventilator, the doctors are saying he isn’t going to go home (to my cousin).
It is doubtful that Baby E has been baptized. I have given my cousin instructions on how to baptize himself, in case he could get an opportunity to do that.
This breaks my heart. I am surprised that he lived this long, and in the last month, there was a time when it looked like he was improving. But things have taken a turn for the worse, and I’ve only heard bad news since two Mondays ago.
I am praying for a miracle, and getting everyone I can, to pray. I sent him a green scapular to keep nearby, with a St. Benedict medal attached. Will you pray with me?
A sweet thing someone prayed once, was for Padre Pio to come be with the baby to play with him and watch over him. This little boy should be playing and exploring the world right now, and he’s stuck on two machines.
Please, God, answer our prayers for a miracle.
And could you maybe add some extra prayers for Baby E’s siblings, who have witnessed and experienced a lot of trauma themselves. Thank you.
