Little Alayna went to be with Jesus yesterday. Please pray for her momma and daddy!
Brayden returns to the hospital tomorrow for his second round of chemo. Here are some requests for him:
"This week we're praying for safe travels to LR, an uneventful week with his treatments that flush quickly and no mouth sores! We're praying for Brayden's heart and spirit continue to be protected from the harm of leukemia and a cancer diagnosis. We're praying schoolwork becomes easier for him and his frustrations will be minimal as he works through new challenges."
Continue to pray for Bruce as they make plans for his second transplant.
Eden will be having surgery tomorrow, please pray for her.
Prayers for Kate:
"Please continue to pray that she tolerates the chemo well, with minimal side effects and that her body recovers quickly from it. Another thing to be in prayer over is her next MRI. This is extremely important!! It will probably be in 2 1/2- 3 weeks. If the MRI shows that the tumor has grown at all, we will be taken off the study and need to find another mode of treatment. (We are praying and believing that this will not be the case)! We will continue on with the study, the current mode of treatment, if the treatments have kept it from growing, or if it has shrunk. We are praying that it will have drastically shrunk, and pulled away from the major blood vessels it has wrapped itself around. Or obviously, that the tumor would be completely gone already! So please begin praying for this as the time will come quickly! Thank you!"
Please pray for Reagan to have some relief from her constant tummy pains.
I received this request as an anonymous comment; please include this little girl in your prayers:
"Please pray for my daughter Annabelle. She had her tonsils and adenoids removed on Tuesday and went home the same day. We got readmitted into the hospital today because she is major dehydrated and has and infection! Please pray that we won't be here long and that she will soon begin to eat and drink! Thank you a lot!"

I was reading Emerson's blog, and my heart was really hurting for her momma. If you feel led, please give her some encouragement and love.
Prayers for Gaines:
"Please keep Gaines in your prayers. Pray that he is able to take a full day of bottles soon and for his lungs to continue healing. Pray that he tolerates 2 liters well and that soon he'll be able to wean down again soon."
Prayers for Jack H.:
"I ask for prayers for Jack's continued healing from his brain injury. He has come such a long way, but still has a way to go. I appreciate all the support and kindness you all have shown."
James started steroid treatments yesterday, please pray for him and he goes through these.
Prayers for Kate:
"We continue to ask you to pray for God's guidance in all of this. We ask for protection for Kate's little body from the harmful side effects of the chemo. We ask that even now the tumor would be shrinking, and especially away from the blood vessels that it is wrapped around. Pray for her continued rehabilitation, which is going great. Pray that she will never develop a secondary cancer because of these treatments. Pray for absolute and complete healing for Kate, head to toe. Pray that many will come to know Jesus because of Kate. And pray for endurance and hope for our whole family as the road is long and many times very scary."
Mikayla will be having another bone marrow aspirate test on Monday to see if her leukemia is in remission. Please pray for a good report!
Prayers for Rebekah:
"We would appreciate your prayers for Rebekah's growth and comfort and also for wisdom for us and for Rebekah's doctors as we try to find a feeding plan that works for Rebekah."
Prayers for Reagan:
"Please keep Reagan in your prayers, as we continue to adjust her medications (and probably add a new one) over the next couple weeks."
I was reading Jonah's blog, and his momma had a prayer request for a family that lost their little boy on Tuesday; he passed away in his sleep. I don't know them, but I read their blog and it is heartbreaking. Please pray for this family!
Update on the Turner Family:
"Trenton received the results of his second EEG last Wednesday. They returned normal so they have ruled out epilepsy. They have taken him off his anxiety medication about 2 weeks ago and he is now experiencing symptoms of withdrawal. We are so grateful for all your thoughts and prayers during this round of tests. They are suspecting that his episodes are medication related so they are trying to determine which medication to eliminate one at a time. One of the withdrawal symptoms he is experiencing is rapid heart rate. Please pray that these symptoms subside and he can get back to a sense of normalcy."
NEW REQUEST:
"Prayer request for Alayna--14 month old who is dying of leukemia that has metasticized to her brain with a rapid growing tumor. She is currently in hospice going through the dying process. This has been a horrific experience for the parents, and they need prayers for her comfort and for her pain and fear to be over. Please send out an urgent prayer request for this family."

Keep the Pifer's in your prayers in the next two weeks; Tiffany had her last IUI yesterday.
Elijah will be having eye surgery Friday morning. Please pray for this little man!
Keep praying for Gavin as he continues to fight infection.
Please go to Noah's blog and love on them. They need some encouragement!
Prayer requests for Rebekah:
"Please pray that in the next week Rebekah will gain close to half a pound and will continue to do well with her feeding. Also, I forgot to mention yesterday that we need to pray for her collaterals (the small arteries from her heart to her right lung) to continue to grow. That was the reason for postponing her surgery in the first place, so we really need those to be big enough to work with by the time she has her second surgery."
Please pray for Hope's momma.
Please pray for Noah E. and for his momma. He is a very sick little boy and is having a really tough time.
Continue prayers for Veiyah.

Update on Angel families
EDIT from Christy: I just wanted to say "thanks" to Deena for keeping us updated on these special families. It is quite time consuming for me to check up on all the prayer requests we have on our list, and I really appreciate her covering these. Thanks, my friend!
I'm going to try my best to update everyone on the Angel families. I'm still not really good at the whole blogging thing and posting links so bear with me as I learn.
Say a special prayer for Avery's mommy. Also, pray for their housing situation.
http://keepingupwiththekeirseys.blogspot.com/
Please pray for Jay, Jen, and Cayden. Ella's birthday is August 21st. They could use some special prayers right now.

Sunday
Just a reminder to not forget our Angel families; they need lots of prayers too. Sometime I know I get caught up in checking on all of the sick ones, the unborn, and the ones trying to conceive, but I don't want to leave behind the ones who have lost.
Pray for Tiffany and her husband this week; pray for peace, and the ability to trust in God no matter what the outcome.
Prayer requests for Brayden:
"We're praying now that his counts are on the rise, they can get safely high enough to have some room before we start the next round of treatment. We're praying his picc line stays free from infection, since mom is doing dressing changes from home. We're praying God continues to protect his little sweet spirit from harm of the effects of this ugly diagnosis. We're praying his body stays strong and free from infection and the chemo continues to to work well with minimal impacts to him."
Tomorrow, they will be reducing Gaines' oxygen flow; please pray that his little lungs will tolerate it well.
Gavin will be going back to the hospital tomorrow; he has some sort of fungus, and they have to get his little body clean.
Continue prayers for Kate; she is struggling through some intense mood swings, from all the stress she is under.
Mikayla and her family received news that her leukemia has spread to her central nervouse system. Please go to their blog and leave some encouragement.
Visit Rebekah's blog to read a list of prayer requests for her.
NEW REQUEST:
This is Elijah; his momma left this request:
"Elijah is my 24 week micropreemie miracle. Pray for Elijah, he is 16 months old and still not able to sit up, though he works very hard at home and in therapy. Pray for myself and my husband and the situation we are going through that God will work it all out the way he wants it. Pray for my three year old who will be assessed for Aspergers Syndrome soon."
Let's add this family to our prayers!

Prayers for Brayden:
"We're praying Brayden keeps up the course he's been on with staying healthy and free from infection with no fever. We're praying he stays in good spirits and that resiliency stays strong.
