Hi, I'm Jordyn and my son Levi needs prayer. He was due January 22 and I had him 7 weeks early on December 5. His lungs are fully matured and he's had no problems breathing or anything else health-wise, but before he can go home he has to put on weight. (He was 4lb 14 oz at birth) They had to hook him up to a feeding tube because he wasn't eating all of his milk, he's gotten a little better at nippling but not much. His dad and I would really like for him to be home for Christmas so if anyone would pray for our baby boy we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you already and God bless.

Jordyn, you and your sweet son are in my prayers. I pray that he is home with you or will be by Christmas. God is holding you all in His strong, merciful hands. Thank you Father for Jordyn and her willingness to seek Your face during this time. Hold their family together and hide Levi in the shadow of Your wings. Heal his little body and bring him home to his parents. Thank You for your grace and mercy Father. In Your name, Amen.

our prayers have been answered. Levi was able to come home this morning. He's now 5 lb 9 oz and growing every day. I want to thank everyone who lifted my son and family up to the Lord. He still works miracles. Thank you and God bless and have a merry Christmas.

What a blessing from the Lord! My son was 10 wks early and had a few medical issues. It's truly amazing to me how perfect God's plan is and how precious his design is. I'm so thankful that your boy is healthy. I will pray for the pounds! We're working with the same thing with my boy, except he's two and just learned to eat a few months ago. Levi will get it. Trust in the Lord and always seek Him.

Dear Heavenly Father,
We come together knowing you are the Great Miracle Worker in ALL situations, we ask you to reach down and place your Mighty Hand on Levi right now and help him start gaining weight so this loving couple can experience the joy of bringing their baby boy home from the hospital by Christmas. We thank you that you are now as I pray this prayer causing a miracle, let him be a testament that You are real and mighty!!!! I pray for this husband and wife that you would give them strength to get through this time together. Thank you that little Levi is developing as he should, we love you and worship you for your greatness and thank you for sending your Son to sacrifice His life so that we may have eternal life, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Just an update. Leviticus(Levi) has come leaps and bounds when it comes to eating. He's really gotten the hang of latching on. He's been nursing about 15 minutes each side when he goes to breast. Today his nurse was telling me that since he's been eating so well she's going to talk to the doctor about letting him nurse and bottle feed more than every other feeding. She said he's making all of the right steps to be out of there. I want to thank you all again for your faith and prayers. I know God is moving in my little boy and He has big plans for him. Thank you so much.

Hello Jordyn, our family will pray for Levi to gain weight, be strong and healthy. It must be very hard to leave him in the hospital and can imagine you wanting him home for Christmas. Hold him all that you can. We will be in prayer for your patience and for the Lord's comfort for you during these times. God Bless you and Levi. Merry Christmas.

Lord..Thank you for giving Levi to this family. Thank you for the progress he is making. Lord, Please allow Levi to be home with his family on Christmas. Continue to bless him and make him strong. Please touch his parents in this time as well Father. Give them strength to go day to day. Wisdom in decision making. And patience in waiting in your presence. Father we know Your timing is not always our timing. There is a reason for his early birth. Bless little Levi and his family Lord.

Lord, thank You that Levi is healthy and doing well. I pray that he would gain the weight he needs. I pray that he would be able to come home for his first Christmas. May You be with him and cover him in Your Presence, and keep him safe Lord I pray, in Jesus Name.
