I have friends that need your prayers
I have friends Jim and Autumn. They have a little boy who is a little older than Emma, and a little girl that is 2.5 years old. The little girls name is Lillian. They use to live here in Moscow, but moved to D.C. so Jim could go to a school back there. In May they will be moving to Florida, where Jim has a job. The end of last week they had to take Lillian to the doctor because her arm she had broke was not healing. After many tests and moving her to a different hospital, they got some bad news. Their little Lillian has Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Scary! It almost doesn't seem really. She is such a happy cute little girl and now she has to fight for her life. She started chemotherapy this last weekend. She will be in the hospital about a week undergoing intense treatment. If things go well she will be released home. She will then have about a month of intense outpatient chemotherapy. If things are going well then she will have less intense outpatient treatment. All of which will total about 2 to 2.5 years. Jim will still be finishing school and they will be moving in May to Florida. I heard today that Lillian is in a lot of pain, her stomach is hurting a lot. She is also telling the doctors she is not sick and she doesn't want medicine. She is tired of being tested and poked etc. Because Jim is in school and Autumn a stay at home mom, they have been living off of the money they saved and made off of their house here in Moscow. I'm sure every area of life is stressful right now. Please pray for this family.
