Extra prayers

Tonight Lily is back in the hospital. She is neutropenic and all her counts are really low. She has gotten 2 transfusions so far and we are trying to determine why her belly is hurting so much. She is in a lot of pain and they can't give her anything stronger than tylenol until they get it figured out. Her button doesn't look infected. I came down with a tummy bug this morning, so Phil is with her at the hospital. I'll try and get the full story out in the morning. I know she is in good hands and her daddy is fighting for pain meds.

Worse news, one of our Oncology friends from the ward has been sent home. There is nothing else they can do. Her name is Elikia and she is a remarkable 9 year old who has battled leukemia for the past year. Please say an extra prayer for her and her family to get through this extraordinarily tough time.
