🙏 Please pray for my niece, who has always been more like my sister, Shannon. She has been fighting cervical cancer for 3 1/2 years now.
She had a severe bout with colitis in the fall and they had to take her off her cancer meds. She was actually kicked out of the medical trial she'd been in. They left her off of everything through the holidays to help the colitis and the cancer has now grown and spread to a crazy degree.
She already had some spots on the lining of her kidneys and a few other places, but now she has developed multiple lesions on her brain, blood clots on her lungs and legs. The clots on her lungs are complicated by lymph involvement pressing down. Breathing is now impossible without oxygen and is very difficult period. The doctors will begin radiation on her brain next Monday-Friday, then start again on following Monday- Friday. After radiation they hope to begin chemo to help a rare lymphatic cancer in her lungs.
Please pray for strength and wisdom for her and for her doctors. Pray for her to be able to take some miraculous breaths and for her to be able to sleep.
Shannon has a sweet love for Jesus but please pray that her husband, Scott, will come to know Jesus and that God will comfort him and give him peace & strength through all of this.
Please also pray for her mom, my sister Layne, as she sits by her bedside caring for her, watching her child struggle to breathe and fighting to live. This is so very hard. (Shannon and Scott moved to Ohio a little over a year ago and Scott was out of town on a business trip when things got bad. Layne got there first and the hospital only allows one caretaker/visitor per hospital stay so Layne is the only one allowed to be with her.)
Shannon's 46th birthday is in 3 weeks, on February 13th. We're praying for miracles for her every single day and we'd love so much to have some prayer warriors join us as we pray for her to be able to breathe and sleep...her big miracles that we take for granted so often. ❤
- Jenni, we will certainly be praying for Shannon, and the family as well as the doctors. We know that the Lord has the ultimate decision over all.
- Praying for all. Trusting our Father’s perfect will.
- So sorry Jen! I am praying!!!
