Prayer Request

I don't know how many people read this, but right now every little prayer helps this precious little girl. Her name is Elizabeth, she is ten years old and she lives in Valdosta, Georgia. Here is her story.

Several years ago, she defeated brain tumors. All was well until earlier this year when she was diagnosed with Leukemia. During testing, it was found that there were some other things occurring making it a miracle that she survived birth. Well, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving she had a bone marrow transplant and had been doing well. She was looking forward to getting out of the hospital in time for Christmas at home with her family. Sadly, over the past 48 hours things have turned worse. She developed memory issues which we were hoping and praying were "cabin fever delirium" as one doctor put it. But, scans of her brain and spine show tumors growing in both places. Her parents now have the hardest decision ANY parent should never have to make. Do we want quality of life versus quantity of life? Please be in prayer for this family, Mom, Dad, Elizabeth, and little sister Madeline. Please pray for guidance about what is best for Elizabeth, strength for the family this upcoming week and above all, a miracle from God that will completely heal Elizabeth.
