After all the progress she has made lately, A.'s cancer is no longer in remission. They found cancer in her bone marrow. She is now going through her 8th round of chemo. She is still with me, but she is only doing half-days. Her mother has had to go on half-days at work, too. She is a single mom, with one income and no family in this area. All her family lives in Michigan. I don't even know how she can afford to send A. to me. A's grandfather has come to stay with her mother for one month. After that, I don't know what she will do.
I was so depressed about this news, and then A. came back to school today. Running a fever and wetting her pull-up (not a normal occurrence, she is fully potty-trained) because of the extreme amount of fluids they flushed through her system along with the meds they gave her at the hospital, she still cheerily played with the other kids, laughing and running. You would think she hadn't been in the hospital that morning. She inspires me to stop feeling sorry for myself when I've had a hard day and be happy to be alive and healthy.
I hurt for this family. They have been in my prayers every night. If you remember, please include them in yours, too. They need a miracle.

Poor little girl, I will add her to my prayers, tell me her name on Sunday so I can pray for her by name.
Meeting her I could tell she was a special little girl. You are blessed to be in her life. We will pray for her. This must be a really hard thing to go through.
Oh, my goodness. I will be praying for this little girl and her mom. I'm glad you know them and can help them with your compassion and heart.
you ought to call the temple and have her's and her mother's name put on the prayer roll if you havent already done that.
OOH! Good idea, Holly!
