Prayer Request for Madison

Hello friends! We're writing today to ask for your prayers for sweet Madison Crowder. She is 6 months old today and lives with her mom, dad and 2-year-old brother. She has been seriously ill since she was 2 weeks old and has been in and out of ICU most of her life.

Madison has a dangerous form of pneumonia that can lead to meningitis in infants. This form of meningitis is deadly. They have already drained fluid off her brain and today they will do an MRI on her spine. They are putting her on a form of life support, not to keep her breathing, but to assist her in breathing. Her breathing is very labored and her heart rate is very high. The support system will assist her heart so it doesn't have to work so hard to ease her breathing.

The Crowder family lives in Utah with no family or close friends up there to help them. They depend solely on our prayers and the grace of God to give them strength and hope to get through this very heart-wrenching time. We are all pleading with you today to please say a prayer for Madison and tell your friends and family to pray for her as well. We've attached a photo of that beautiful girl below. This sweet angel needs us, please pray for her and her family.

Thanks!
