Morrison's Update

Earlier this month I reported about Ryan and Brianna Morrison giving birth to sextuplets. A lot of you have been keeping up on this but for those of you who haven't, the following was posted the 16th on wcco.com:

3rd Sextuplet Newborn Dies, 3 Others Critical

(AP) Minneapolis Half of the sextuplets born prematurely to a Minnesota couple have now died, hospital officials said Saturday.

A third boy, Lincoln Sean Morrison, died Friday. Two of his brothers, Tryg and Bennet, died earlier.

The three remaining babies remained in critical condition Saturday in the neonatal intensive care unit at Children's Hospital in Minneapolis.

Parents Ryan and Brianna Morrison released a statement saying it's been "a difficult week" for them, and thanking everyone for their prayers and support. "We continue to trust in the Lord and are hopeful for a good outcome for Cadence, Lucia and Sylas," the statement said.

The four boys and two girls were born last Sunday about 4 1/2 months early.

The STEM staff haven't stopped praying for this family since we heard the news of their premature birth. It has been hard for us to hear the news and since Erin is pregnant it strikes a little more closer to home.

Would you please continue to pray for this family.

If you'd like to know more, check out Noemi's blog as she is the one responsible for the pictures and has been a very close friend of the family.
