Prayer Request - April's New baby Nephew

April's Brother Anthony & Sister -in-law Miranda, had their little baby boy Seth Owen last night.
He was due in May, but was scheduled to be induced or taken at the beg. of April because of his need for surgery on his heart soon after he'd be born. His Rt & L ventricles are both going into the heart, rather than one going in and the other out.
The Dr's thought he'd probably be about 4-5 lbs at birth and would need to be watched to see how strong he was for surgery.
His birthweight was 5 lbs, 10 ozs. !!! and he came early- Praise the LORD.
They do plan surgery sometime next week or so.
April said they found he also has 2 small holes in his heart, which turn out to be beneficial in this situation, allowing a type of ventilating system of sorts.
Anyway, please pray for Seth and for his family, including 4 year old sister Marissa, whom will all be so looking forward to bringing their healthy baby boy home to Edgewater as soon as is even miraculously possible!
God Bless you,
Lena
