My Heart Breaks

Please keep this family in your prayers.

I have been following their story for a while now. Just a few short weeks ago, things were looking up. It seemed like their baby girl, who had been born prematurely, was going to finally get to come home. After all, the first ten months of her life had been spent in the hospital, undergoing seven major surgeries and 248 procedures. The smallest baby to ever have open heart surgery.

Tomorrow, a recently taped episode of "The Doctors" will air on television, sharing their story. (See the preview here.)

Today, I got this message via Facebook; "With a very heavy heart, I wanted to let all of you know that Kayleigh died last night. Please keep the Freeman family in your thoughts and prayers. God bless you all. Thank you for loving, supporting and praying for sweet Kayleigh."

I can't even begin to imagine what they are faced with this very moment, and will be faced with on the road ahead. Please, please pray for them.
