Baby Update

Please continue to lift up Ryan and Brianna during this very difficult time in their lives. This is an excerpt from WCCO's website on the Morrison sextuplets. For up to date information you can check out WCCO's website: http://wcco.com/morrisons

"Second Sextuplet Baby Dies
(WCCO) Another son of the Minnesota couple that became parents to sextuplets has died.

A statement from Children's Hospital in Minneapolis said Tryg Brenton, died Thursday night.

The four other newborns of Ryan and Brianna Morrison of St. Louis Park remain in critical condition in the neonatal intensive care unit at Children's. The children were all born last Sunday.

As released Thursday by Children’s, Tryg’s brother Bennet died Wednesday.

The hospital said no further information is being released, as the parents both mourn their loss and continue to focus on their other children."

As a new-er parent I can't imagine the joy and pain they are feeling right now. My heart just aches for their loss but also rejoices in the gifts they've been given. I know that the Lord has a purpose and a plan for each of these little lives and I pray that His will would be accomplished and that He would be glorified in the Morrison family's lives. I can't think or even write about them without falling apart and am speechless at times not knowing what to pray but, God hears and understands those prayers that only seem like pain in our hearts.

Lord, I lift up Ryan, Brianna, Lucia Rae, Lincoln Sean, Sylas Christopher and Cadence Alana and pray that Your purpose and plan be accomplished in their lives. I pray that they would live and not die and declare the word of the Lord. I pray that their lives would be a testimony to Your goodness and grace and Your everlasting, all-consuming LOVE. Lord, I have never known suffering like this so I don't know exactly what to pray but, I do pray that Ryan and Brianna would grab on to You with everything in them because You are the only One who can get them through what seems to me the most difficult thing a person could ever be faced with. Lord, I pray for another miracle. Amen.
