Abby's Home

Thank you all so much for praying for our family. Abby was able to go home over the weekend. Praise God. It was wonderful to be together as a family again. Abby's brothers and sister are so happy to have her home. Tomorrow we are going back to the hospital for more tests and chemo, but we are praising God for the time that we had together today.



Tomorrow (Monday) Abby will have another bone marrow aspiration, spinal tap and 3 chemo drugs. We will know tomorrow how she is responding to the medication. I am excited that we will find out how she is responding to the treatment, but my heart is breaking that she will have to go though so much tomorrow.
Daddy cut her hair yesterday. I love how he cut it. Shorter hair will make it look better as it thins and not so scary when it starts to come out. Abby has been very fascinated with the all of the wigs and hair pieces that you can buy at black hair stores. She has watched Sami wear drawstring ponytails and she loves them. We have had so much fun "playing" with Sami's hair. How wonderful that God used our fun to help prepare Abby for what is happening now.


Would you please pray that Abby would be free of pain and nausea and that she wouldn't be scared. Please also continue to also pray for her healing. I can't even imagine saying good-bye to my precious little girl.

Abby and Yordi are at the top of my prayer list...have you heard about Yordanos??
(if not, you can visit my blog)
There are so many people who are in need of a miraculous healing touch from the Father........ but the children have my heart above all.
With your permission, I will also post Abby's picture on my blog and direct readers to leave any comments or prayer requests to a link to your site.
Let me know...

Hi,

You dont know us, but we saw your story on the Purpose Driven Family blog and wanted you to know that your little girl will be in our prayers. There is no one more precious in the Lord's eyes than a little child, I can only imagine the number of Angels surrounding her, touching her, and soothing her every second of this journey.

I'm so sorry that this world is so hard and don't even think I understand one small bit, but I'm so thankful that you serve a Jesus who does. I'm thankful also for your continued faith. May HE be glorified through YOU!
