Yes, I know I’m two days late, but I’ve missed this feature lately.

Gabriella Holding a Relic of the True Cross

For the past couple weeks, there have been nightly rosaries at St. Rose for Gabriella Deters, daughter of Jessica and Michael Deters, who I think is almost a month old.  She’s been in the intensive care unit at Children’s Hospital in St. Louis for most of that time.  I’m not privy to all the details, but apparently she came down with some very bad infection.  Three times now the doctors have said there was nothing more they could do, and it was just a matter of time before she’d be gone.  Each time she’s rallied back, and this weekend it seemed like the news was cautiously optimistic for the first time.  She’s not out of danger yet, though, so when you’re saying your prayers this week, you might want to include one for little Gabriella and her family.

Here’s the inspirational part: Jessica’s report as of Sunday morning.  It’s on Facebook, so I hope this link works for everyone.
