Prayer Request

I typically don't post prayer requests but felt to do so in this case. (Some have received emails regarding this).

I have a distant cousin who is 26, pregnant and has breast cancer. Her cancer was not discovered until after she was pregnant. She has been taking low doses of chemo throughout the pregnancy. However, the doctors will be taking the baby today at 32 weeks in order for her to begin much higher doses of chemo to save her life. She will then eventually have a mastectomy.

Please pray for the baby's health in that she will thrive even after being born so early. Pray for the mother as I can't imagine such fear both physical and mental. Also please pray for her family as they will be her support for the long, hard months ahead...especially her husband as he balances becoming a new dad and a concerned husband.

Thanks for your prayers and I will keep you posted as I receive more news.

Until next time, HB
