Urgent Prayer Request for Jack Michael Fanning.

Jack was 8 days old when Mommy and Daddy held him for the first time.

Hi!  I have an important prayer request...

My good friend Mike Fanning (one of Erik's old roommates) and his wife Tricia had a baby on January 2nd.  Unfortunately, Tricia developed preeclampsia, and little Jack Michael was born after only 28 weeks, at 1 lb 9 oz.  While he's a little fighter, he is definitely struggling--a lot.

It would be awesome if you could all keep them in your prayers.  If you'd like to know more about specific things to pray for, or to read their story, check out their blog, not so jumbo jack, by clicking on that link or going to www.thefannings.blogspot.com.  I'm sure they'd love it if you wanted to leave a comment or a prayer on their blog, too.  There is also a link to a photo album with more photos of this tiny little miracle in the blog, or click here to see more.  Thanks for your much needed prayers.

Yep, that band around his arm is Daddy's (Mike's) wedding ring.

Jack is obviously VERY tiny--only 11 inches.
