Please pray for Gracie!!

Please pray for Gracie. This is one of those scary days they warned me of. The doctor is suspicious of a part of her right side of her intestine which appears to have air in the intestinal wall. Otherwise known as NEC. They watch that because it can perforate her bowel. She might need a blood transfusion today, has had 2 x-rays, stopped all feeds, back on an IV, and will be put on antibiotics. She is pale but the doctor said she has always looked a little pale to her since her arrival last Friday. Please pray it isn't NEC. That can be deadly.
The good things are that she is alert, great sucking on her pacifier, not lethargic, coloring could be better but that may be related to being anemic and needing a blood transfusion, no perforated bowel.
I'm heading back to the hospital for the remainder of the day. Please pray!
