“Dear Heavenly Father, Please help baby Crue, in Jesus Name Amen.”
“Prayers for little one so sweet.”
“Praying!! Our boy will be getting labs tomorrow to see if we will be referred to transplant clinic. Idk if you actually read these comments, but the Biliary Atresia Network has been a Godsend to us. So much support.”
“Continued love, prayers & thoughts for baby Crue & all the family.”
“Prayers that a donor is found for this sweet baby.”
“Prayers he will get his transplant soon and be healed.”
