Prayer Request

Hi everyone, today my mom specifically asks that we pray for her picc line. This is the line they put in her arm to give her medicine, take blood, and do all sorts of testing. It goes from her arm almost all the way to her heart. It's supposed to stay in her for the entire time she's in treatment but today it started looking like there is a possible infection where it's taped onto her arm.

Please pray that this heals and that my mom doesn't have any infections while she's going through treatment. Also please continue to pray for good news tomorrow from the doctors. We'll know more about what stage the cancer is and how intense the treatment will be because of the stage. She is supposed to start the chemo tomorrow through her picc line, so this is the start to a tough week. We will continue to lean on God for strength and trust in Him throughout the week.

Thank you all so much for your continued prayers!

    John 10:10...reminds us that even though the theif comes to kill, steal, and destroy...we can know that Jesus came to give us ABUNDANT life! Praying for you and knowing we can rest in Jesus and the promises He gives! I'm still believing! Love you so much!

    Amy, Adam, Julie, Suzanne & David,

    Your Mom is blessed to have such wonderful and responsible children (young adults!!)
    She needs all of our prayers and support, however, so do you. Your compassion, your love and your caring support is the best any Mom could wish for. Bless you.
