My very sweet dear clients, the Barnett Family, booked a session with me seven months ago to photograph their second child. As the months went by, Claire contacted me to let me know that the news she was getting from doctors was not good. As of about 10 weeks ago, they discovered that baby Mac would not have long to live and would probably not be born alive. However, as of tonight, his little heart is still beating and his mommy is at Northside Hospital, 36 weeks along, waiting to be induced. The prognosis is that baby Mac will probably not survive long after he is born. I am so honored that they have asked me to be there when Mac arrives to capture his time here with them. I pray it might be days or weeks but I fully realize that it is all in God’s hands. Please pray for this family. Pray for peace, pray that they might enjoy their short time with their son and that it not be overshadowed by sorrow or grief,pray that the doctors show compassion and love, pray that big sister Lydie feels comfort while her mom and dad are away, pray that I remain strong while I am with the family, and most of all pray for baby Mac that he might live and die without pain. If you want to follow along over the next few days then please feel free to go to their blog. Leave them a note and let them know you are praying for them.
