Prayers for Stephanie

Please keep my friend Stephanie in your thoughts and prayers. We were good friends in high school, and I have been able to see her a few times since I have moved to the DFW area. She has a sweet 2 year old boy named Jackson that Finn gets along with really well. Last week she was diagnosed with Leukemia, and has a large tumor in her small intestine. She has been receiving chemotherapy, and the tumor does seem to be shrinking. The bad news is that she has no immune system and has a severe case of pneumonia. They decided last night to induce her into a coma and put her on a ventilator. While this is really scary, the doctors think that this will be the best thing for her in the long run. She is not allowed to see her son, and it looks like it will be several days that she will be in the coma.

I believe in the power of prayer- so please pray for Stephanie and her family. It makes me realize no matter how tough things can get, we should be grateful everyday that we are able to wake up and be with the ones that we love.
