Please Pray

This is an urgent call to prayer for some of my college-mates:



Dear Prayer Team, we have an emergency on our hands....

Brianna had her sextuplets last night. Please pray for the life of the
babies to be miraculously preserved and that the Lord would be sovereign,
guiding Ryan, Brianna, doctors, and nurses in every decision and action.
(The full email from Ryan's mom is below.)

Jer 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I
set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

Lord God, Creator, Sustainer - hold these precious lives in Your hands.
Protect them, preserve them, give us faith, and help our unbelief. Give the
Morrisons and the medical staff the wisdom. Unleash Your miraculous power
and faith even on and through each one who handles these babies. You are
the hands that carry us. Amen.

Hello Everyone:
Well, the big day for the babies has come at 22 weeks 6 days. Brianna's
circlauge (sp) slipped and she dialated to 7cm very quickly. The drs. said
the time has come, we have to take the babies. They had the whole team , 20
to be exact, of drs. at the hsopital within about an hour.
The prognosis was very alarming, the dr's. thought that 1 or maybe 2
babies would survive the birth due to the underdevelopment of these precious
little ones. He stated that in most cases with high order multiples that
mom is in ICU for at least 1 day, and in many cases 2. So we prayed and
turned all this over to the Lord. Ryan and Brianna were obviously
overwhelmed with all that was happening but they held on to their faith and
trust in the Lord.
We asked God to let the babies survive, to carry Brianna safely through
as the dr. had discussed the MANY complications that can happen to mom, and
that God would decide the outcome for these babies clearly so that Ryan and
Brianna would not have to make life and death choices regarding their little
ones as the dr. said they needed to decide if they wanted to revive the
babies if there were complications.
The frist baby was born at 11:23pm and the sixth was born at 11:25 pm.
Yes, all 6 were pulled with 2 minutes! God has miraclously intervened. All
six of the babies are alive. They weigh between 10 ounces to 1.2 pounds.
The dr. said that Cadance Alana, the 10 ounce baby girl was the smallest
baby he has delivered that has survived. They are very tiny, a little
bigger than an average adult hand, but seem to be fighters. Brianna did NOT
need to be placed in ICU and was able to be wheeled to Children's in order
to see the babies.
The babies are not out of the woods by any means but God has shown His
power and His presence. Everything we cried out to the Lord for was
answered. We continue to pray for the lives of these babies and Brianna's
recovery. The needs for prayer right now are:
1. Brianna to continue to recover quickly
2. Several of the babies fingers and toes are blue due to oxygen issues.
They may need to have them removed at some point.
3. There are SO MANY medical issues these babies are dealing with and it
will only be by miracle if they thrive and survive.
4. The dr. said there is an 80% chance for handicap with these babies.
Possibilities include: deafness, blindness, autism, along with many of
issues.
Please continue to lift them up. God has been so present through all the
pregnancy, and the birth last night. We NEED each one of you to pray and to
pass on this prayer request to others .
The babies names are:
baby girl- Lucia Rae (Rae after Brianna's mom's middle name) 11 ounces
baby boy- Bennet Ryan (after dad! Ryan)1.2 pound
baby boy- Tryg Brenton (Brenton after Brianna's dad's first name) 1.2 pound
baby boy- Lincoln Sean (Sean after Ryan's dad's first name) 1.2 pound
baby boy- Sylas Christopher (Christopher after Ryan's brother's first name)
1.2 pound
baby girl- Cadence Alana (Alana after Ryan's mom's middle name) 10 ounces
Thank you all for your love and prayers!
