Prayer Requests
December 20, 2007I have a few prayer requests today….
First is the family of Ellie, she lost her battle last night with neuroblastoma after a hard fight. I’ve been reading Ellie’s blog feed for a while after someone posted her site on the Bethany forums asking for prayers. Please pray for her family: Mom-Sarah, Dad-John and 5-year-old Ethan along with all those who have been touched by Ellie’s life. I can only imagine how bittersweet Christmas will seem with the joy of Christ’s birth juxtaposed against their loss.
Second is Judy, fellow adoptive mom blogger. Judy just learned today that she has breast cancer, localized but advanced. Please pray for her and her family (husband Frank and son Nate). I am constantly amazed by her strength and support :)
And last, is actually a family local to me as they go to our church (I only recently discovered they had a blog), Kristi. Kristi has been battling ovarian cancer since January and went through surgery yesterday to reverse a colostomy. She and her family are hoping she’ll be home for Christmas with their 3 children (Ashley, Nathan & Emily) but she is having some minor complications- elevated heart rate, low blood pressure and oxygen level.
Hello-
I have enjoyed reading through your blog. My 15 year old son was just diagnoses with stage IV Burkitt’s Lymphoma. He is about to finish his 2nd round of chemo.
