Special prayer request

This is a somewhat urgent special prayer request for another HLHS baby I recently learned about. Her name is Gracie Jean Lockyer. She is 6 months old and awaiting her 2nd heart surgery - the Glenn. She's had a lot of complications so far in her little life and after her parents met with her doctors today, they said that in her current condition, she only has a 10% chance of surviving from the surgery. To put that in perspective, we were told with Ethan that he had a 75-85% survival rate with his Glenn surgery because he was in optimal health at the time. The Glenn surgery has been scheduled for next Thursday, Oct. 2. Given all this news, please pray for her parents, Todd & Amanda as they are faced with the bleak reality that if God chooses not to work a miracle (which we all know He can do and has already done multiple times in Gracie's life after having coded multiple times now) this time around, they may only have 8 days left with their little girl. Please join me and invite everyone you know to join in praying for this sweet little heart baby! To learn more, please visit their blog at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/graciejeanlockyer
