Prayer on Lit

In my thoughts, also, today.

Know that there ARE a great many Lit. folk "pulling" for you both. :rose:
 
Father, in the Name of the Lord, Jesus Christ, we come before You and agree with you for this child. We ask that You would be the God of Comfort and that You would extend Your peace into their lives. Father, we ask, too, for kindness from all who treat this young girl, that their hands would be gentle, their questions thoughtful, and all would treat her with dignity. Lord, we ask, too, for wisdom for all who would interpret the tests and for a correct diagnosis. God, You are the One who is always there, and I ask, in the name of Jesus, that You would make Your presence known to this family to the glory of Your Holy Name. amen
 
You have my prayers and others....

I sent you a PM with some encouragement. I know things look really bad... But, God is a BIG GOD and when all things look impossible, He can make it possible.
When a man went to see Jesus about his dying little girl, he was told to believe. On the way to see the little girl, a messenger came and said don't bother, she is dead. The man was shocked to hear the news... but Jesus said, ... just believe. In other words, I am bigger then the bad news, don't put your trust and faith in the bad news. Believe in me. I still believe God does these kinds of miracles today. Either by the hands of the doctors, meds, or a miracle. Just believe.
 
Sending you love, strenght, support and prayers. Dig deep, you'll find the inner strength you need to see you though this.

:rose:

Love and hugs to your beautiful daughter.

:rose:
 
Try to stay strong, saldne, even in the face of bad news. I'll keep you both in my prayers.
 
Thank you everyone. I did quickly announce this evening (now early morn.) in the playground. It is confirmed - she has bone cancer. I made three threads because I was trying to get as much prayer for her as possible. Ah man, I'm sick. We didn't get much sleep last night, and I'm pretty burned out after today. They're working fast! The tumor is in her clavicle bone - not her collar bone. I got them confused.

Saturday (tomorrow) 9:45am is her MRI. I'm so happy they're working on weekends. They want to make sure it didn't spread to her lungs or elsewhere. On Monday at 6am we have to be at the hospital for tests I can't even spell. After that is Chemo, and so many other drugs. <sigh> There's so much more, but I'm just so beat to explain.

She was given prescriptions today of Flexeril and Hydrocodone to help with the pain, and muscle spasms she keeps having. She's out like a light right now. She's had so many sleep problems because of the pain.

I don't know what else to say right now. I feel kind of foggy and in a daze. I'm so, so tired! Again, thank you all so much for your prayers! :rose:

Oh yeah. I did receive some very nice PMs, and they're appreciated. I read each and every one of them, but to be honest, they made me cry. It's not something I'm used to - and not your fault. I don't know how to reply right now. I'm a mess. I'm sorry.

Edit: I think I'll make this my last post about it. Well, on the GB anyway. I need to get back to writing. It helps heal. There's nothing anyone can do, but leave it in the hands of God and the doctors. God has a reason for everything. I'm not angry with Him. I'm just incredibly sad, and at this very moment I'm not thinking very postive, plus I'm exhausted, and feel kinda loopy. Keep praying. Keep praying. 8 hours to go. Will I ever sleep?

Keeping you in our thoughts

I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers as well. I hope that you both stay strong and that you have friends and family you can rely on.

If you need to vent or talk to someone who has spent time at hopspitals with children just pm me. I have not faced cancer with a child but have had three children with birth defects requiring surgery and hospitalization. I am a good listener and online at various times.
 
Saldne, I don't know what to say apart from I'm so sorry for the news. It sounds like you two have made it through a hell of a lot together already, and you're going to make it through this too. I can hear your incredible strength and love coming through, so I have no doubt there's no better person to support her in this. You'll take it one day at a time, celebrate life, and let others care for you. My most positive thoughts for you and Sam will continue to come your way. :rose:
 
I'm so sorry to read of this Saldne. You and your daughter will be in my thoughts and prayers tonight. I can't imagine the worry, stress and anxiety you must be going through.

:rose:.
 
Remember to get rest for yourself, Saldne. Your daughter needs you to be strong.

Prayers to you both in such a trying time. :rose:
 
Words aren't enough at this time.

But my thoughts are with you and your daughter.

I nursed my Mum in law for 10 months with terminal bone cancer. But she was elderly and chose not to have chemo.


I hope that your daughter has youth on her side and modern technology.
What you are going through is a parent's worst nightmare. Take care of yourself and I wish you both the best outcome in a bad time. :rose:
 
I never know what to say in these kind of situations. Just know that you and your daughter will be in my prayers. :heart:

I know; I'd typed about 10 times that much, but made bottom line thoughts instead.

Same here.

I hate cancer.
