Default Please pray for a match

My middle son Cooper was born with cystic fibrosis. In the beginning it was treatable but as time went on it became a lot more difficult. About a month ago, his doctors said that they think that he will have to have a lung transplant because if not his condition will just keep getting worse. So since then we have been trying to find a match within our family. We have tested all of my husbands side and none of them are matches and we are down to my brother and sister. They said cousins and other distant relatives are possibilities but that the further away we get from close family, the more likely it is for it not to be a match. My brother and sister are being tested tomorrow to see if either of them are matches. If not, Cooper will have to be put on a transplant list. If you all could, will you please pray that they are matches. Thank you so much.

Absolutely I'll pray. I will also add this with my church's daily prayer ministry.
