Pray

My heart is so heavy today. There have been so many things happening lately...so many hard things.

Thanksgiving of last year, a little boy in Maddox's preschool class was diagnosed with leukemia. He was able to visit the class a couple weeks ago for a short time, but I think that may have been the last time. Their goal is to get him healthy for Kindergarten. Maddox came home with a new student roster yesterday and Carson was not on it.

Sometime around Christmas, Brent's aunt was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer. She is undergoing chemo to help keep the pain down, and is going through so much. It all happened so fast and is so sad to hear of the pain she has been experiencing.

My Grandma is in the hospital with two broken hips and suffered a stroke on Sunday. She has lost her speech and some feeling in one arm. But she never ceases to amaze us with her strength. At the moment she seems to be doing as well as can be expected.

And now, a sweet baby girl, Cora, in our sunday school class has just been diagnosed with cancer. She is 11 months old and far too young for this. It has only been two days! She underwent surgery yesterday to remove the tumor, but they found spots on her liver. She starts chemo on Monday for 10 days. This innocent little girl, not even a year old, and she has something so horribly disgusting growing in her little body. It breaks my heart. Please pray for her and her parents.

Oh no, oh no.

First, I'm so sorry that you have to deal with all of this!

Second, I "know" Cora and her parents. This is the first I've heard about this. I'm just in tears.

Prayers are being said for all of these families.
