Please pray for Julia's Family

Many of you know that I'm a member of a private online message board for moms. I know that many of you think it's funny, and I'm okay with that. Today, however, I come to you asking for your sincere and honest prayers for one of my internet friends. Her name is Kelly, and she's the wife of Matt and mother of Jackson and Julia. Julia was born on November 26, 2007, even though she wasn't due until mid-March (just last week.) She has fought an incredible battle throughout the past four months, but early this morning, she gave up the fight. She was scheduled for surgery to insert a trachea this afternoon at 12:45 pm. Unfortunately, early this morning, she became very sick and went into cardiac arrest. On the fourth attempt to resuccitate, her parents decided to let her go in peace. It's hard to describe how I feel right now. Kelly and I were due around the same time with Julia and the baby that I lost. I just can't imagine how Kelly and Matt are feeling right now, and I can't imagine explaining to Jackson that his little sister is never coming home. Please just pray for them. Thank you.
