From July 2008

Prayers We Shared

In 2008 this page was a place to pray for Brady and for other preemies and their families. These are the prayers people left.

Hey guys. I'd like to put this page in place not only for Brady, but for any preemie you know of that should be lifted up along with their family. Our situation is certainly not unique and there are hundreds who can and should be prayed for in times like these. Please feel free to lift up Brady but also others you know. If you have any pictures or 'websites' such as this one you are more than welcome to add a link.

In Him
Erik

My wife (she's 26 weeks pregnant herself) showed me your blog. I really enjoyed it a great deal, has a great look. I'm so glad to see that your little one is doing so well, he is showing some really great character even at this early age. My wife and I wish you and your family the best and Brady is in my thoughts and prayers.

The Lord knows the plans He has for Brady, hold onto that promise. You all are in my prayers.

I was so touched by your website for your little girl. My daughter (now 2) was also a NICU preemie, although you'd never know it to look at her today. My husband and I are expecting a little boy, and I'm on bedrest until September. My thoughts and prayers are certainly with your family! God bless all of you

Hey Erik and Nikkie! I have no idea of the mixed emotions that you must be feeling all the time but I just want to say that Brady is one blessed baby to have such loving, faithful parents! Your baby is so very precious and her story continues to amaze me every day--she is a fighter and thank God for that! Thank you for keeping us in the loop with how she's doing. Somehow, she always seems to sneak up in my thoughts and prayers and I am thankful for the opportunity for pray for her and her parents and the many babies in the NICU that I wouldn't have known to pray for otherwise. Please know that you guys aren't alone in the fight for Brady Faith-you have so many of us behind you!
In Christ's love,
April Walker

HI Nikki and Eric.....remember me?? The sunglass lady at the Savannah Mall.
Congratulations on your precious baby girl!! She is absolutely beautiful. Brady is so blessed to have such wonderful loving parents. I have enjoyed reading all about your little bundle from God. I am anxiously waiting for you to stroll Miss Brady by my kiosk at the Savannah Mall, so I can put her first little "Barbie Channel" sunglasses on!! :-)
May the lord bless your family and give you strength through this difficult time.
Give that little baby a kiss for me!

Hey Nikkie,
You may not remember me from many years ago. I remember when you were born and I got to come over and help "babysit". In fact, your mom was my babysitter! Anyway, I am keeping you and your precious baby in my prayers each and every day. God has truly blessed you and your husband. Your daughter is lucky to have such a wonderful mom and dad and extended family.
Love,
Melanie Massey Smith

Hey Erik, I haven't spoke to you in a long time. But I just want you to know that God always has a plan for what so ever he may do. The plan might not be what we want it to be, but God knows what is best. But, I will keep Brady and her family in my prayers. God Bless and be strong and just don't give up on God.
With many Blessings,
Quatavia

This is the first time I have posted as it took me a while to figure out how to post on your site. I just want you to know that you are all in are thoughts and prayers during this time. You know that your mother is one of my favorite people in the world so what happens to her and her family is very important to me. I can't imagine what you are going through as i can't stand it when Anna stubs her toe but I know everything will be okay as yall have God on your side. The Creels are praying for you!
Love, Kellie Garner and Anna

Hi to a precious family of God. Your precious gift from God is in his plan. I don't understand her condition completely, but God does and since he is the great physician I join all the others putting her in his hands. I can not say I know how you feel because I don't, but I do know the one who will get all of you through this.
I am sure my name is not familiar to you but if the name Michelle Paulos is, that is my daughter.
May God be with you as you make the decisions necessary to get that angel home with you where she belongs.
In Christian faith, Arline kovacs,

Hi, my name is Austin.
I was 25 weeks pregnant when I had our little baby girl... I came across your website while looking up preemie information. She is now 5 weeks old, has had her PDA Ligated, graduated from the ventilator & CPAP, and is now on a low flow nasal cannulaide...
Reading your story, and seeing that your little girl has made it, gives our family hope~! We have a while to go.. And right now things seem a little scary.. Jenica (our little girl) has been having a lot of episodes (bradies, de-sats, apenia).
Thank you for sharing your story!
