The Fobart Family

It is with the utmost sadness and abiding hope that we ask for prayer and help for our precious Fobart family. On July 18, little Nolan, only 13 days old, succumbed to an infection that proved too strong for his little body. Needless to say, the entire family is devastated. To have waited for him so patiently, delivered him at 31 weeks, fallen in love with him, and then have him taken away is almost too much for anyone to bear.

Prayer needs are abundant:

Jen experienced preeclampsia in her third trimester and was in the hospital for 3 weeks before having an emergency C-section.

Nolan was born at 3.3 lbs, and was making great strides in his growth and respiratory development, getting stronger every day.

On Sunday, 7/17, he suddenly was overwhelmed with NEC (Necrotizing EnteroColitis), which effectively took over his little system.

He passed away on Monday, 7/18, but not before he was held and loved on by each member of his family.

Prior to all of this, the Fobarts had sold their house in order to purchase another that would accommodate their new addition.

Nolan's arrival and passing occurred in the midst of all of the house hunting/packing, etc.. At present, they have to be out of their home this weekend and do not yet have a prospect for a new house.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support. Hold the Fobarts close for a good long while.
