Continued prayer for little Morgan...

Posted in In The Family RoomJust read their update and they have this to say:
Chemo starts tonight. We got the protocol and it is much more intensive than the first time. She used to have a major chemo treatment every 3 weeks. She would bottom out (counts, feeling bad) about 10 days out, then start coming back, then have about a week of feeling ok before the next treatment. Well, the new protocol has 6 drugs now instead of 4. That we knew about when I wrote the last time. The new protocol has a major treatment every 2 weeks. Her oncologist said to expect more fevers (thus hospitalization), more transfusions, etc. this time. Right now, we're wondering if there will be any good days between the bad? This is going to be much harder on her and us.

Recurrant rhabdomyosarcoma is a killer. Most kids that have a recurrance don't have much of a chance. Due to the very early stages that we found both her original tumor and this new one, she falls into a very small group that has a favorable prognosis.
Please pray for them. I've had such a burden on my heart for them all. It's a bit frustrating that I'm not nearby anymore to just waltz down there and give them a dish for dinner, or even offer my hand at babysitting. I know God will provide for them, but I know they could certainely use your prayers.
