Please Pray!
Hi, fam! (if there's anyone out there) =) I am asking for some prayers on behalf of my friend, Lisa, who had Leukemia and lost their 6 mo old 1.5 years ago. She had a biopsy yesterday, and the Leukemia is back. She is not a candidate for another transplant, and they won't give her any more chemo, either. (her body didn't take it well the other times) They have given her more blast cells (i think those are the donor cells), as a final attempt to kick this. They feel that this is the last option they have. The Dr told her he has seen it work before, so don't give up hope yet. But clearly they are devastated, and now all they can do is wait about 2 1/2 weeks to see if things improve. She said today that Byron is really broken over this. He has been so strong through all of their trials, and He's just now realizing that he could loose her too. If you could read her journal entries on her web site... I just cry. She has almost given up, as she can just picture Micah at Heaven's gates jumping up and down...ready to welcome her. But yet she knows her family and friends will grieve, and she doesn't want them to go through that, either. It has really hit me hard today, the realization of how serious this is, and I just can't imagine all their emotions right now. So these next 2 weeks are going to be terribly long for them, so any time you think of them, lift them up to our Father in prayer. Thanks...love you all! Kristy

I will be praying! Thank you for telling us about it. Focus on the Family has been doing shows about the loss of a spouse this week and it has just been so moving. It makes me so sad for Byron if he has to go through this deep valley.
I'm praying for you too Kristy. It is not easy to lose anyone.
Wow, that is heart-breaking. We will be praying! Love, Sarah
