Phoenix Baker, Age 4, Louisville, KY
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Phoenix Baker is a bright eyed 4-year-old girl with a smile to match, and quite impressive for her age. Phoenix sat in with the big kids at Sunday School in church last week. "She was learning her memory verses and was kind of shy about it, but she wanted to recite them for me. She obviously had been taught to love the Lord and it's really exciting to see a child doing that," said Michael Troy Shells, Pastor of Baptist Tabernacle Church.
Around 2:30pm Monday, her family found her unconscious in the kiddie pool in the backyard of her house. Pastor Shells spent several hours with the family at Kosair Children’s Hospital.
"She's in very grave condition, and they're just hoping that she makes it over the next 24 hours and they'll know a lot more."
Pastor Shells says he's not sure how long Baker was in the pool before someone found her, but right now he just wants everyone to pray for her and her family. "I've been with all of them. They're just rallying around each other and praying, just waiting and hoping."
Lord, rally 'round Phoenix and her family at this critical time. Come to their aid with your healing love and unfathomable Divine Mercy. We also lift up all families experiencing life threatening situations. Be with them Lord, all our trust is in you.
