Prayer Request

I had a really bad day today, for reasons I am not going to get into here. The worst I have had in some time. But, sheesh, my family is healthy and we have so much to be grateful for. I start crying just thinking of our scare with Reagan's lymphangioma; the waiting at Doernbecher's while she was in surgery; the terror sitting down in that little room with Dr. Hayden when he emerged from the OR; the relief when we heard our baby was okay, but my deep, deep sadness for families who are not as lucky as we were. I thought of those nameless families a lot during that time. It may seem strange in a way; of course I was so happy but I kept thinking that kids do get sick, really sick and how unfair life can be.

I am asking for prayers for one of those families. My favorite local newborn photographer, Erin Tole Photography, has a dear friend who's two year old was diagnosed with a very large brain tumor on Halloween. She had surgery at Doernbecher's a few days ago. My heart absolutely breaks for them. Please, please keep baby Reese and her family in your prayers. They could use all they can get.
