Official stats of Matthew and Analiese's baby girl:
>Her name is Alaina Faith
>She weighed 5lbs. 12oz. and is 18 1/2" long
>>She is still "critical", but the doctors are much more confident than they
>were last night. The very fact that she made it through last night
>(Wednesday) is very encouraging and really nothing less than a miracle.
>>There have been some good improvements throughout the morning/afternoon.
>She is still on a ventilator, but is doing a lot more breathing on her own.
> She was getting 100% oxygen early this morning but she down to receiving
>53% now and doing well. They have given her 125 mL of blood since last >night, which is the typical amount of blood that a baby her size has in her
>body. It is still unclear what is happening to the blood. She has had
>some amount of blood in her urine but a sonogram this afternoon didn't
>reveal any significant amount of internal bleeding. It is still unclear
>to her doctors the underlying cause for her condition. Please pray for
>wisdom and discernment for the doctors as they are treating Alaina. And
>also for Matthew and Analiese as they will need to make decisions for how
>to best care for their little girl.
>>Different family members have been able to be with her today. We have been
>allowed to touch her and talk to her but not to hold her yet. She has been
>sedated until around noon time. Up to that point they just wanted her to
>rest and be calm, now they would like to see how much activity they can get
>from her. There is concern about the amount of time that she was not
>receiving adequate oxygen and the possible long term affects from that.
>The doctors would like to see her moving more on her own, opening her eyes
>in response to stimulus, stretching, etc.
>>Analiese is continuing to do well, although she has not had much sleep
>since Monday. She was told that there is a chance that she will be
>released tomorrow morning. She is excited about this possibility as she is
>very much wanting to be with Alaina. Please pray that she would be given
>extra strength and peace during this hard time and she would continue to
>heal well and get some much needed sleep.
>>Also pray for Matthew as he is trying to take care of his family and keep
>his business going at the same time. He is very tired and is feeling
>stretched in many different directions. Natalie is also missing her mommy
>very much and knows that something is not quite right. Please pray that
>she and Kyle both will be comforted during this time of separation from
>their parents.
>>Our entire family appreciates the many phone calls and emails that you have
>sent our way. You are an encouragement to us and we are very blessed to
>have such a wonderful group of family and friends that will cry out for
>God's mercy and healing with us for our littlest Hutchins girlie and her
>mama.
>>Coveting your continued prayers,
>Mary for the whole family

Update on Analiese and Baby Girl
Good morning all!
First an update on the baby...Our baby is, praise God, more stable than she was for most of last evening. But she is still struggling, and there are still a lot of un-answered questions about what caused all this to happen, what the next step to take is, whether she will live. Her vital organs are all greatly challenged by the severe anemia.
About 1 o'clock this morning she stabilized enough to be care-flighted to Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, and our Mary and Analiese's mother, Fabiola Holmes, are over there with the baby. They were allowed to spend a whole three hours with her last night and were even allowed to touch her! Please pray that Mary and Mrs. Holmes would be able to get some rest.
Now, an update on Analiese.She is doing much better emotionally now that things are looking up more, and she is determined to heal quickly so that she can see "her baby."Please continue to pray specifically that.
1.. All of the baby's vitals would continue to function and that they would in fact begin to function more fully. 2.. The baby would begin to breath better on her own. She is currently on a ventilator. 3.. The baby would not be anemic. This continues to be a serious problem. 4.. That Analiese would not worry about the baby 5.. That Analiese's body would heal quickly. Remember that aside from delivering the baby her body is still healing from the wreck.
Thanks to everybody who has prayed! We can feel your prayers and are certain that they the only thing that has kept our baby alive.
In Christ,Mark

Analiese and Baby Girl
Please pray for my friend, Analiese. She was due to have her 3rd child Oct. 10th, but had to have an emergency C-section yesterday. Please pray for the little baby. She isn't doing well.
You can scroll to the bottom to start at the beginning of the updates.
Thank you for praying!
--------------------
Update: she (the baby) is still in serious condition, but it appears that the blood transfusions have had some effect. Our girl seems at touch to be a little warmer, and she is moving a little bit. BUT SHE IS STILL IN SERIOUS CONDITION! PLEASE PRAY!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The pediatrician just talked to Matthew, Analiese, and three of the Grandparents, and said it is very possible our baby will not make it. She is in critical condition. The anemia has put a lot of stress and pressure on all parts her body. They are giving her blood transfusions right now and are counting on them working. The doctor has seen some babies in this situation pull through, but they have seen a lot not. They're trying to care flight her to Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas right now, but they first have to stabilize her.
PLEASE PRAY! ONLY GOD CAN PULL HER THROUGH AT THIS POINT. WE KNOW THAT IF IT IS HIS WILL HE WILL DO JUST THAT. PLEASE PRAY FOR ANALIESE AND MATTHEW AS WELL. ANALIESE IS REALLY STRUGGLING!

10:55pm Wednesday, Sep 19Hello all! I just received an update on Analiese and the baby.
The C-section is over (obviously) and Analiese is doing fine so far except that she is in A LOT of pain and sick.
The Baby, a little girl with a beautiful head according to Mary, (she has only been able to see the head through the ring of Doctors at this point) has serious problems but praise God is doing much better than she could be!
1. We believe she is severely anemic. 2. She may have an infection, but beyond that we don't really know anything for certain. Mary saw the x-rays of her lungs and could tell that something was very wrong, but as I have already said they are still trying to discover what exactly the issue is. It may be pneumonia.3. She is very small even though she went nearly full term.
The care-flight unit was there to care-flight her to Dallas, but it looked to Mary that they had left, which means that they are perhaps waiting to care-flight her.
A big praise is that Mary was able to get a good look at the baby (and I just got off the phone with Mary two seconds ago finding this out) and she saw her move her arm. Up until now they had seen no movement so this is a huge praise!
I apologize for not having more details but this is all we have at the moment. We will be sending out updates as often as we can.
Thank you very much for your prayers and please keep them up! Our baby is still in serious trouble.

8:17pm Wednesday, Sep 19Please pray for my sister-in-law, Analiese, is at this moment having an emergency C-section.
The reason for this is that her baby’s pulse is more faint than it should be and also somewhat erratic.
Most you probably know this already, but for those who don't, about 13 months ago Analiese was in a terrible car wreck and essentially was crushed from the waist down. Without listing all the specifics (except that her pelvis was cracked in three places), let me just say that it takes a body years to recover from these massive injuries, and bearing children while trying to recover only complicates matters. The potential for complications in a pregnancy of this type are very high, especially as it pertains to blood clots, something Analiese has battled frequently since the wreck and has forced her to stay on heavy duty blood thinners
The doctors think a blood clot may have brought this on, in fact.
So, I think y’all can see some of what Analiese and the baby are up against.
The doctors were planning on inducing Analiese in a week after she had been OFF her blood thinner for two days, during which time Analiese was going to be at the hospital. But the complications obviously threw a monkey wrench in those plans.
PLEASE PRAY!
Thank you so much for reading this!
We are all doing fine. After seeing the countless miracles that kept Analiese from either being killed outright (and her newborn and toddler that were in the car with her) or by the complications have cemented our faith in God almightiness. But, that isn’t to say we couldn’t use prayer for our faith staying cemented.
In Christ,Mark
