Baby Ryan wants to see Mom & Dad at his NICU crib

Donation protected
Less than a week ago prayers were answered. Carlos & Kristin Rodriguez have been blessed with one of the Lord's greatest gifts.
Baby Ryan was a bit too eager to meet his Mom and Dad and will be spending the next 3 months in the NICU. This family has been prayed for by innumerable people and God has been faithful to answer those prayers. Baby Ryan needs his mom and dad by his side as much as possible but his hospital is 2 hours from his home. Carlos and Kristin will be making that drive twice a day during the week and trying to stay there 3 or 4 nights a week, including weekends.  Because it is about  three months before he gets to go home, they do not need any baby items, but fuel and hotel expenses will be great.  They also will need help pet sitting, and most definitely ask for your prayers.

All money raised by the GFM page  will be for the sole purpose of helping this new mommy and daddy be with their tiny son. The NICU is a scary place for new parents so the more time they get to spend there, the more they get to be with their son and become comfortable with those earthly angels we call NICU RNs. 

The post below is the first one Kristin shared after meeting her son for the first time.

"And prayed and prayed. Everyday for years, every morning before we leave for work and every night when we got home. Today we got the call and our prayers were answered. With adoption it’s all confidential and complicated for a little while so we can’t share much, but our baby boy was born very early and prayers for his development are appreciated. We are over the moon to welcome Ryan Isaac Rodriguez into our hearts and complete our missing piece to our family. His name has been chosen for quite some time. Ryan to honor Ryan Taebel, and Isaac from my favorite Bible story. We were certainly feeling like Abraham and Sarah waiting for our blessing."




Updates on baby Ryan will be posted as available, but please keep him and his family in your prayers. Healing and development for Ryan.. Strength and rest for Kristin and Carlos.
