Pray for baby Meriah

Adam and Crissy's little girl, Meriah Gail, was born yesterday morning after a transfer to the hospital -- they had planned a home birth.  The baby was born, but suffered from severe Meconium Aspiration Syndrom.  Later that day, Meriah was transferred to the UVA medical center, where she is undergoing treatment.  The prognosis is not good, though the doctor at UVA sounded somewhat more positive than the initial prognosis.

Keep baby Meriah in your prayers.

Folks at UVA are more hopeful. They said she got a little feisty with the nurse -- which is a good sign. She is still on a ventilator, but is able to take some breaths on her own. They will be doing an MRI on Friday to check for possible brain damage.

Comments from the nurse caring for Meriah continue to be positive.

Somer is in Charlottesville visiting the new parents and will hopefully get to see baby Meriah -- maybe even get a picture or two.
