Prayers for Jacolby


Last night My little brother Timothy and his wife Brooke had their baby. It was a little boy and he is 3 month early. She was not due till August. They had to do an emergency c-section and get the baby out fast. She is recovering really well. But the baby was never in any stress through everything. Little Jacolby is doing really well concidering the condition he is in. He was life flighted to Ogden This morning around 3am.

We did get to see him before they took him. He weighes 1lb 12oz. He was so tiny it was almost surreal. The last update we got was his heartbeat is strong and he is breathing really well. His blood pressure is low but they said that is normal for his condition. They are saying he has a 70% chance of making it.


Brooke and Timmy are staying strong but they know they have a long road ahead. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. They are going to need all the support they can get. Jacolby will be in the hospital for a minimum of 3 months. We are hoping for a fast and safe recovery.

I can offically say I am now an aunt to a beautiful baby boy.

wow I didn't even know that Timmy was having a baby! How scary for them. I will be thinking of them. It will be a very long time for him in the hospital and probably a long time afterwards with recovery being a preemie. I am sorry! It is really hard and it is going to so hard. Tell them to hang in there!

We are pulling and praying for the baby. He must be a tough little guy.

Poor Jacobi. We pray for him and Timmy and Brooke every night. He's definitely a fighter!
