My great-niece was born prematurely yesterday. She is only 28 weeks and weighs just 2 pounds. I am very close to her mother and am too far to visit. I am stressed out right now.

Members rallied around someone anxiously awaiting news about their great-niece born at 28 weeks and 2 pounds, flooding the thread with prayers, words of encouragement, and deeply personal stories of premature births in their own families. Several members shared hopeful outcomes, including twins born at the same weight who are now healthy 23-year-old men, a nephew born at just over 1 pound who thrived, and a grandson born at 26 weeks who is now a thriving 13-year-old, emphasizing that modern NICU care and faith can work miracles. A recurring theme was the power of collective prayer and community support, with members checking in regularly for updates and celebrating each milestone as baby Charlie Jo progressed from needing a ventilator to breathing independently, going home, and eventually thriving at six months old with no signs of her premature start.

My great-niece is hanging in and getting stronger every day. Thank you all for your prayers. I truly believe in the power of prayers and well wishes. Charlie Jo is living those prayers. My niece was very touched when I told her how everyone was praying for her little one. β€οΈπŸ™πŸ»

Thank you all. Charlie is 29 weeks old today. She is now breathing on her own and is no longer attached to a ventilator. So nice to see her little face. I know all the prayers are helping her stay strong and continue to thrive. She's so very small.

Moreen’s grandniece came home from the holidays, and is doing wonderfully! She is beautiful and has the cutest dimple on her right cheek! Moreen also got a puppy named Mocha, and is really enjoying her company! Love to all of you!

Update for today. Mom and baby are doing good. They have decided to name her Charlie for her great-grandfather Charles and her grandmother Jo who passed away last fall from cancer. She was only 54. I'm sure she's also watching over the baby.
Thank you from Charlie's parent for all the prayers. She is going to be 29 weeks tomorrow.

@A MyFibroTeam Member - I have not been on too often lately. Just came across your request for prayer. My Godchild was born weighing just about the same weight as your little one. He is a grown man now with four children of his own.

Father God, Bless this child and mother during this time of need. Let them know how much you love them and that everything is under control. Let them feel your presence and know that you are near them. May they feel your loving arms embrace them and may the Holy Spirit who is our comforter--comfort them during these trying times. You are our peace during the times of storms, your are our light during darkness and you are the Great Physician who heals. Touch this little one and bring the entire family a peace that they need right now. We ask all of this in the Precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen
