Hi all...my Good friend and her baby need lots of prayers:
Hello everyone, just a short note to let you know that Jude Llewellyn was born on Sunday 2/15 at 2:15PM. He was 6lb 13oz, and 20 & 1/2 inches long. Unfortunately, he was born sick and whisked away to Jefferson Hospital in Philly where they have the tools to make him well.
He was born with meconium in his lungs. (this link will take you to a site that can better explain this:

So far he hasn't gotten any worse, but is very slow & cautious in his healing. We aren't sure how long he will have to stay at Jefferson, but we are praying (& praying & praying) that we will have him home with his big brother & sister soon. I discharged myself about 24 hours after he was born to be with him & Bill at Jefferson, and Bill hasn't been able to bring himself to leave Jude's side for more than an hour or so (he hasn't left Jefferson since Sunday & I don't think I can make him).
We are humbly asking for prayers, good vibes, positive Zen, whatever you can give in your own way to help this precious guy heal as quickly as possible.
We will update you in a few days on his condition, if you'd like sooner updates, email us.
Keeping Faith, Shaw family
