Shaken Baby – A Tragedy & Prayer Request

This is The Desert Pastor with a very special request.  Noah Whitmer is a beautiful little baby.  He is the grandchild of a couple who live in Virginia and are good friends with my parents.  We desire prayer for this special little boy, for his recovery and for grace for his parents.  Through all of this may the Lord Jesus Christ be glorified!  Please feel free to pass this on to all of your family and friends!

From the website Noah’s parents have put on line —

“With Noah’s first breath on November 29th, 2008 my husband and I feel our lives truly began, and when he looked up at us with those stunning blue eyes, our hearts filled with unimaginable bliss. Each day of Noah’s first five months were filled with joy and awe; he had reached so many milestones: turning over, sitting and standing with support, laughing and cooing to us, and eating solid foods (butternut squash and avocado the clear favorites so far).

But on Monday, April 20th, our little Noah’s life changed dramatically. He was shaken by his daycare provider and within minutes began to seize, and he continued to seize for 15 minutes until he arrived at the INOVA Fairfax emergency room where a huge team of doctors worked diligently to save him. Those first hours were so dark, as Noah was in such critical condition that we weren’t sure he would survive. With God’s grace, he pulled through those early hours and was admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, where he has been ever since.”
