Prayer Request...

Today I'm not going to do a "me" entry. I've had one of those very varied days... high highs and low lows. However I just found out that my worries and lows are very trivial compared to those of a couple of friends that I have.

Liz, who I mentioned in earlier posts - runs A Small Victory, helped me through the process of what to expect when I delivered Eli - just discovered that her 2 1/2 year old son, Phoenix has a 95% chance of having Hodgkin's but won't have a certain diagnosis until the 15th when they do a biopsy. They have also been dealing with very high blood sugars and were looking at a pre-type one diabetes diagnosis. I do not know if these two are related or not.

Another friend, Melanie, just received word that her brother-in-law (her sisters husband) Dave WILL be taken from his family from cancer as well. They are turning off the machines so that he may go in peace.

Please hold these families in your prayers. It seems like one of those days where I should look out the window and see gray skies and rain but I don't. It's sunny and breezy and beautiful out but my heart is breaking inside for these two families that have already been through so much.

I'm keeping Liz and little Phoenix in my prayers. How frightening and scary.

I'm also praying for Melanie and her family
