Do you pray?

Because if you do I have a very important request.
Remember Hubert?
We have been watching him slowly put on ounces and grams, loving him with everything in us and encouraging mom to take ownership of his little life. Over the last two days little Hubert has been sick and is continuing to decline. His heart is racing, his breathing is fast and labored, his temperature no longer responds to our medicines, and the doctors here have gone through every option they can think of. You see here, it could be so many different things. The malaria we treated last week may be resistant to the medication we have, or this could be a bad viral infection, or, well, the list goes on.
So I have a little boy who needs you to pray for him. Pray for this infection to cease, pray for healing over his undeveloped body.
Hubert's dad told us that the reason they haven't marked his face with the usual tribal markings is because they haven't decided if they will take ownership of him yet. In his parents eyes he is absolutly disposable. They openly admit to practicing voodoo, our battle is not against flesh and blood. Please pray for that too.
