Updates: Abbie, Paisley

Here are some updates on the last couple prayer requests I've listed here.

Abbie: The more I hear about her case the worse it sounds. Her particular type of cancer doesn't usually have the best results. For Abbie though the doctors remain cautiously optimistic because she is so young. The cancer has made a home for itself near her spinal cord, where it could possibly impeed her nerves if it grows too large and paralyze her. In doing exploritory surgery, the docs hit a nerve or two and now she can't control her bowel movements and has to wear an adult diaper. That must be even more horrifying than the disease itself for a young person. Just think of the jeering she probably receives at school. And I thought being taunted with "Four eyes!" was bad. Her family isn't taking it particularly well either, especially her dad. The people she needs the most to be pillars of strength for her are crumbling down. Keep Abbie and her family in your prayers. Let's add her friends to that list as well; pray for understanding beyond their years for Abbie and her situation.

Paisley: Praise God; Paisley is the bright spot! Both Paisley and mom are home now! After her blood transfusion 2 weeks ago she improved by leaps and bounds and traveled the 2 hours back home with mom late this past week. Both are doing splendidly and Paisley continues to gain weight! I wish I had a picture to show you guys, but she is so adorable! Maybe I can borrow one from mom or grandma next week. :-D Amazing what prayers do!

Thank you all for your continued prayers!
