Baby Sabrina
Here is the latest update I have to the prayer request given earlier today. This comes from a missionary who works with the Jacobs:
We just stepped in the door from Sao Paulo. Yes, Sabrina was born around 1:30 this morning and seems to be doing well. So far no major complications have arisen and she is under constant observation and care. Ben has seen her three times. The doctor commented that she is breathing mostly on her own. She weighed 1.1 kilograms. Dani is also doing well - just normal nausea from anesthesia. We are all very tired from not having slept, but praising the Lord for the wonderful outcome. Continue to pray for Sabrina's development and weight gain and for Ben and Dani as they make decisions about where to locate during these next few weeks.
I am sure your prayers continued prayers will be much appreciated by this couple.

Bless their hearts. My nephew was born at 26 weeks and weighed 1 pound 6 ounces. He struggled for awhile but he is a very "normal" 12 year old. :) It's times like these when the things we know about God are so very precious to us.

We are so thankful for answered prayer...and so thankful to have a God who truly sees and understands every situation and has every one of them under his complete control. Please know we are praying and do love and care for all three of you, Ben, Dani, and Sabrina. Note: I appreciated your opening in your letter, Ben, when you said you realized others had had days such as this one etc. Right away my heart caught as I remembered times like yours and wow did I pray!

Gayle, that comes out to about 2 pounds, 7 ounces--roughly.

I think it is about 2lbs 6.4oz.
Andrew: Thank you for the update. We have been praying about this. Praise God! May this baby grow to be happy, healthy and a woman of God from a young age.

Praise the Lord. He is always in control but it may not be his will. I am glad it is his will that Sabrina could live. We will continue to pray for her and her folks.
