Today I'm humbly asking for your prayers for two very dear
friends of ours. They and their families could use some extra
strength and comfort and peace right now.
Our amazing 7-year-old friend Brooke recently received news from her scans that her cancer had progressed and filled her bone marrow, and that her body was no longer able to make it's own supply of red and white blood cells and platelets. She then underwent an anxiety-filled week of receiving back her own stem-cells that had been collected years ago. So we are praying for her body to engraft those stem cells, that they will help recover her marrow, and also that they will drive home safely from Michigan to Texas this week--since they just got discharged!
Please also pray for my precious little 3-year-old friend Annika...she and her daddy are on their way from the mid-west to Mexico today for 5 days of treatment. Annika's mom has to stay at home for a few reasons, and I'm absolutely positive this is not an easy separation for either of them. Annika's neuroblastoma is also progressing (darn that cancer) and, well, I'm asking you to pray.
For strength, oh, lots of strength: physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually--I don't know of anything so draining as trying to save your child's life. For clarity and guidance in decisions. For peace on the path they are so faithfully enduring. For healing, if it be His will.
Thank you for praying with us.
FAITH.
