Reece Gregory Nykamp

Last week Monday, my friend Sue gave birth to a beautiful baby boy! On Wednesday, there were some complications and those complications resulted in an immediate transfer to Spectrum's DeVos Children's Hospital. Thursday night, Reece went into exploratory surgery to eventually find out that he has NEC. NEC is an infection that eats away at the intestines and is usually common in premies - Reece was full term. During surgery, Doctors removed a third of his intestines and pumped his abdomen and flushed his intestines out with antibiotics. Reece is expected to remain at DeVos for another 6 to 8 weeks. During that time, the family is in need of prayers for God's healing presence. Please pray that Reece's infection doesn't spread and that the doctors took care of all the infection. 2nd - please pray for Sue, who just had a c-section, pray that God will continue to give her the strength and healing that she needs. Pray for BJ as he has a load to handle and that God will give BJ His Grace to lead their Godly family. Also, continue pray for them as a whole family. BJ and Sue not only have Reece, but they have another son Ben, who is 2 years old. Pray that God will be with Ben through all of this as he is passed around amongst Grandpa's and Grandma's - Aunt's and Uncle's every day. BJ and Sue do have a blog set up and I have to apologize, but I don't know how to insert a link properly so I will type out the blog site below or you can click on the side of my blog were it says "other blogs I read."
