Hi Everyone,
For those of you who do not know, Mary was diagnosed with AML, a form of Leukemia, yesterday. She has been sick off and on for a couple months, and went into Morris hospital last Wednesday for blood work. They did lots of tests and it's been quite a journey for her this past week.
Mary is trusting in God through each step of this. We believe God has a plan and find our hope in Him.
Tomorrow we are taking Mary up to Northwestern Memorial Hospital. She has a 3 o'clock appointment with an AML specialist. They are going to review her tests and records to confirm what she has and then determine the best treatment for Mary. We were told to expect about 3-4 weeks in hospital treatment.
We'd like to ask for your prayers. Please pray for strength for Mary, for our family, and for complete healing. Mary probably won't be checking her email for the next few weeks but if you'd like us to give her a message, feel free to post on here or email: qsuz42@gmail.com. We will make sure she receives every message you have for her.
Mary,
ReplyDeleteThe Savage family is praying intently for you. Today I prayed specifically for a "peace that passes all understanding" for you and each family member. I'm praying that God's presence will be a comfort to you (like being wrapped in a blanket) while He is healing you.
Hi, Aunt Mary. I'm so glad this blog was set up so I can get updates. I want to know exactly what to pray for! Today, I'm praying for the doctors who will treat you...that they may be guided by God to do what's best for you. Lots of Love, Sarah
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea, setting up the blog. We will continue to pray for peace for our whole family, and wisdom for all medical staff you will be meeting over the next few weeks. Love, The Chapman's
ReplyDeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteWhile tears still flowing - I praise God. Praising not what you are going through but for your FAITH. You have the answer to your every need....Jesus! Your scripture Isaiah 41:10 says it all - hold on to it. May God's word bring you comfort. OUR GOD IS BIGGER THEN ANY DIAGNOSIS.
Praying for healing,
Dee Berg and family

In the power of Jesus' name, we will be praying that God not only heals you but that he would reveal his character to you in new ways...that this would be a defining moment when God again shows himself faithful to His own and the generations to come would turn to Him. We love you :)
Mary,
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for you, thinking about you, and cheering for you. Cling to God. He is right with you and will never let you go! We love you!!

Mary,
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for God's healing for you, the blood of Jesus over your body and freedom from fear, according to 2 Timothy 1:7. I love Isaiah 41:10 and also Isaiah 40:31 - praying that your strength will be renewed in the Lord as you undergo treatment and that side effects would be minimized. Sue McWhorter and family
Mary you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time...I have no doubt that the faith and strength amongst you and your family is much bigger and stronger than any disease! I am certain you have already won half of the battle!
ReplyDeleteHeather Rink and Family
Mary/Mom, We made it home and were up first thing thinking about you. Today is a good day. It is the day that healing starts. Lane and Gray, of course, wanted to stay at Grammy's house but they know that we will be back soon to visit. Stay strong. Fight hard. We know that the confidence that we have in God and His plan will lift all of us up and pull us through. We love you.
ReplyDeleteBre, Adam, Lane and Gray
Continuing to lift your family in prayer...praying that the Lord will give the doctors wisdom today in determining their plan of action and giving thanks for the blessings of a loving God and faithful friends and family to be on their knees for you!
ReplyDeleteMary, just found out about this and of course we are shocked. You and your whole family are in our thoughts and prayers. We are confident that everything will turn out positively, but are sorry that you and your wonderful family have to go through this. We think the world of you Mary.

Dearest Mary,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your willingness to share this diffucult thing you are going through. My heart aches for you but I know you are strong. Strong in body but mainly in character. You know our source of strength, He is with you. We all love you and have many here in NC praying for God's healing hand on you. Praying for you. The O'Malley's

ReplyDeleteTo the Strongest Girl I know,
ReplyDeleteWe can only imagine what you are going throught. You are blessed to have such a loving, wonderful, and close knit family. I believe that Greg has been your rock throughout the years and I know he will be a blessing to you throughout the coming weeks.
Remember; "If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it".
Your strength is unparralled to no one....just remember that you won the race against Dave Steep!!!
Also, the hospital food probably isn't that bad - -just stay away from meat (and the potatoes, vegetables, canned fruit) - this is why they serve jello...they can't mess that up!
...with God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26)
I know that there are many churches praying for and many more to come. Remember that you are loved.
Thinking of you in St Louis. Lots of love,
Jill
