My heart is heavy today as I have to tell you all about a family I know. A friend of mine has a friend who's little girl has leukemia and has undergone a bone morrow transplant using cells from her brother. They have just tested her cells and it is not sounding good. The leukemic cells have increased to 30% and it is considered a relapse at 20% leukemic cells. So now they will have to go through it all again and hope the new cells will attack the immature cells and take over, however, there is a fine line as the new cells could also start attacking her major organs.
I just finished reading a book about a woman who started with breast cancer and it spread to her bones so she goes through the bone morrow and chemo process. The way she describes it made my stomach turn so I can't imagine what this poor family and that little girl must be going through. Anyway, please put them in your prayers and feel free to pass this blog message on to others. We are all so very blessed with good health and yet sometimes we think we have it rough...ha! We have no idea. My heart aches for this family and sadly enough, there are many people in the world like this. So keep the rest of the world in mind this holiday season. There are people out their who need prayers for healing and peace, and especially pray for Aliyah, a little girl fighting a big fight.
