Urgent Prayer for Madison and Family

My name is Kathy  and I am sending out an urgent plea for your prayers for my granddaughter.    Madison Marie Crowder is 6 months old today. She has been seriously ill since she was 2 weeks old and has been in and out of the ICU most of her little life. She and her parents, my daughter and her husband, and my 2 year old grandson live in Utah.  They have no family or friends up there to help them, so they depend solely on our prayers and the grace of God to give them strength and hope to get thru this very heart-wrenching time. Madison has a dangerous form of pneumonia that can lead to meningitis in infants. This form of meningitis is deadly. They have already drained fluid off of her brain and today will do a MRI on her spine.  They are putting her on a form of life support, not to keep her breathing, but to assist her in breathing.  Her breathing is very labored and her heart rate very high, meaning her heart is pumping very hard because she keeps gasping for breath and turning blue. The support system will assist her heart so it doesn't have to work so hard and ease her breathing.    I thank you all so much and I pray God blesses each and every one of you and all of your children with excellent health.    With much gratitude.... Kathy
