Sweet Abby

Please visit this website.

We are overjoyed with the news of our fall arrival however some families have woes on their hearts.

This is the story of my sister-in-law's niece, Abby. She is bright and beautiful. She has undergone so much in her short life that I cannot dare to wish on my worst enemy (not that I really have any enemies). She had a cancerous, spinal tumor that was operated on a couple of years ago (I'm not sure she has even turned 5 yet) and has been doing well. Her very recent check back at St. Jude's revealed a tumor on her brain. More testing is scheduled to make certain that it has not spread to her spine yet again.

Please keep them in you prayers. What trauma for anyone but especially someone so young.

Her caring bridge journal is wonderfully done by her mother, Francie, a caring nurse by profession as well as a mother. Cannot be fun to use your pediatric nursing skills on your own flesh and blood.

God is good. Times like these that is so much harder to grasp - that is what faith is all about, right?
