This week we welcome the newest Fuentes into the world and we couldn’t be more excited!
Yesterday we got word that Pastor Denis and Karen headed to the hospital to make sure they were able to make it in safely for their c-section which was scheduled for today. They made it safely and with lots of nerves for the coming hours, days, and weeks ahead. Because of some of Karen’s health concerns they had a very scary birth with their first baby and that was weighing heavy on them. And if that was not enough the country being in the state of turmoil that it is, it makes bringing a baby into it scarier than usual. Not to mention the fact that this is not Karen’s normal hospital or doctor.
Karen was in a lot of pain so the doctor decided he would go ahead and do the surgery right away. Soon after, we got news that baby Denise was born and weighed in at 9lbs and that Mom (Karen) was doing well.
After a few hours we were getting updates that baby was taken to the NICU for oxygen and because her sugars had dropped.
Karen is struggling with pain. We aren’t sure what all is going on, but we know that in order to enjoy her baby she needs some relief.
This morning we got news that baby Denise is not breathing on her own because her lungs are not expanding enough. Even though she was a good weight her organs are still developing. This calls for prayer!
Would you pray for baby Denise as she still has some developing to do? Pray that she would become strong enough to start breathing on her own. Pray for Karen and Denis as they watch their baby fight. For them to have an overwhelming sense of Gods peace and love around them. For Karen to have continued healing. And would you also pray for their son Jonathan as he is with his Grandma in La Esmeralda?
