Just need prayers

[disneymommy78]

I've actually been a Diser for awhile, but lost my old login, then rejoined back in April. I do not post too often, but read frequently as an escape from the stresses of life. My older DD (Leann, age 14) recently relapsed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) on 11-16-11 and just completed round two of intensive reinduction therapy. She will be headed to transplant (BMT) in mid-February with her younger sister (Cailyn, age 8) as the donor.

We recently got the news that my husband's older brother (Age 39) was diagnosed with Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer on 12/28. He is being treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering in NY, but the prognosis is not good.

Last but not least, my beloved younger sister (26, with two young children- McKenzie, age 2.5 and Ryleigh, age 16 months) recently got the news on 1/1/12 that Ryleigh has a brain tumor. Ryleigh faces complicated brain surgery tomorrow to remove as much of the tumor as possible and will most likely need chemo as the tumor is in a tricky location.

Thank you,

Karen
