Hello Family and friends,

PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR FAMILY!!!

First let me apologize if this is the first time you have heard about our new 1st grandbaby "Nathaniel Chase Taylor" born Sept. 7th @ 12:00 noon weight 7'11" affectionately nicknamed "slurpee". It has been a very blessed time and a stressed time. Stasi took little Nate home on Sept. 10th and was doing very well with just a little "newborn rash". Little Nate was nursing and sleeping as well as newborns sleep. The second week at home he had a terrible rash on his bottom that she couldn't get rid of and his lips were beginning to get a little chapped. He also was getting very very fussy so she took him to the pedi. to make sure he was doing ok. They put vaseline on his lips and told her to continue the ointment on his bottom that she was putting on.  Sunday after his Pedi. appointment Nate's eyes were swollen shut. Stasi and Frank took Nate to the local hospital and they were transfered from there to Egelston. The rash has turned out to be a terrible Staph infection by the name of "Scalded Face Syndrome". He is in alot of pain and very ill. It is highly contagious and mom and baby will be at the hospital at least another week if the new antibiotic begins to heal his little body.. They have called in a ENT and eye doctor to make sure his hearing and vision have not been affected by the infection. God is in control and we will lean on Him.

Stasi is a remarkable young woman! As you can imagine it is very hard for her, little Nate screams at the least amount of touch, but settles down as much as possible in his mothers arms. She herself is not healing as well as the doctors hoped and they are having to keep an eye on her closely. Please lift her up to the Lord.

I have sent you some information about a web site called igive.com.(under 2 week old baby Nathaniel[staph. infect.scalded face syndrome]) This is very hard for us to ask but as you begin to shop for your family will you consider doing it through this web site. It has all the stores most of us shop at already and it has great deals. Stasi 's bills are pilling up and she doesn't have any idea when she will be able to return to work. Nate's immune system has been effected by this infection. And as we all know the bills do not stop due to illness. This is a wonderful way to help her and Nathaniel through your shopping they will donate to help her. The stress of money I hope will be able to be lifted through our support.

God Bless you,

Debra and Herb Gibson

proud mom, dad, grandma and granddad!
