family in need

Yesterday, a woman from my ch--ch here had a baby boy. The baby is healthy, and the mother is recovering nicely, but there were a few complications during the delivery, and they were forced to do a C-section, and the baby is in an incubator. The problem is, the couple had set aside money for the hospital expenses related to the delivery, but the money they set aside was for a natural birth... and the C-section and incubator are costing a lot more than they had bargained for. Also, the mother is going to have to stay in the hospital for about a week to recover from her C-section, and that wasn't in the budget either. So we (the ch--ch) have been getting money together to help them pay the bills, and a group of us went to visit them in the hospital today. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the baby--not even the mother has had a chance to see him! Also, she told us today that she's still in a lot of pain from the operation, and can't even move enough to get into the wheelchair. Please keep them in your pr-yers, that the Father would provide the money they need, and that the mother would have a speedy recovery!
