I am so sorry! My prayers are with you and your family! My son was born weighing 3 lbs. Hang in there. God has a plan… always for Good to those who who love him and are called according to His purpose!
God saw Sunday, April 13, 2013 before the world began. God saw that the Doctor would give you Holly and Seth, 3 options, one of which you would have to decide to hold your baby in your arms until she passes away. God also saw his faithful saints Holly and Seth subtly remind the medical team of the 4th option, that was never presented to them. The 4th option was for believers around the world to call on our father which art in heaven! The church praying is indeed the 4th and most powerful option. We are inspired by the Yelorda family, through Emilie Grace about this 4th option. Today the Ramathe’s continue to rely on option 4!!!! BE ENCOURAGED as you continue to ENCOURAGE the WORLD!
Praying for you both and your precious little girl! So glad to hear the praise report in progress. Continue to trust and believe the Lord for her healing…He is MORE than able!
Pastor Seth and Holly,
We have and will continue to pray for little Emilie Grace. It is such a relief to be able to cast our cares on a God who works miracles. Already Emilie Grace is living proof of that! Be encouraged!
Praying…

God is too wise to be mistaken and God is too good to be unkind… Trust His heart! Praying for you as you walk a very difficult but familiar road. Jesus Loves you and He Loves Emillie Grace more than you do., so trust His heart.. We pray with you.

Seth and Holly, We are praying for you and that precious baby- a miracle from God!
Complete confirmation that God still moves mountains…. He specializes in impossibilities. May he continue to strengthen you guys through this journey of faith. Praying for life and total healing for Emilie Grace in JESUS NAME!
I know for sure that God is able! Our son was born with pulmonary hypertension in the lung, immediately put on ventilator, hours later ECMO (he also suffered brain bleed), did multiple blood transfusions and over 40 surgeries since. It is nothing but a miracle that he is alive and well today. Doctors declared he would be retarted. He is now five and a half and is functioning well above his age academically. And though we still don’t know when he will be able to live without his trach tube, we are certain that the same God who brought him through his circumstance years ago, is able to do anything, in His time. He is the God of the impossible. God is able to do more than we can imagine or think. I have grown to believe that my God is not limited to what doctors can do because indeed He is the great physician. We hope Holly is doing great and we pray for improved health for your precious baby girl. Just believe… and it will happen :-).
God is in total control! Emilie Grace will be a testimony to His Power! He has already given His angels charge over her! Amen!
Praying a miracle of healing for your precious little baby girl. God can do it!
The whole Sam/Ottley clan is praying for u and your family!
Mat. 11:24-26. God is god all the time
We pray with you and everyone else. Much love, Herman & Sugar Jones
