Sean


Last week when I was in the hospital, I met a lady whom I will call Mrs. Gage ( I don't recall her name). Mrs. Gage has a 3 yr. old son whose name is Sean. She told me that Sean had leukemia and that he had been diagnosed in the beginning of October. (Leukemia is a lot like lymphoma.) Just like I had to stay in the hospital at the beginning, Sean went in for his first week on October 16th and he hasn't left once. He has had infection after infection after infection. He even had to go back into OR because his port, which was on his right side, flipped over to his left side. Don't ask me how that happened but it did. They tried to get it back to the right side but it didn't work so they just left it alone. After he went into OR he got an infection in the incision on the right side, which spread to his left side.  I was listening to her tell me this and thinking to myself how blessed I am and how amazing God has been to me. He has protected me from so much stuff and has blessed me more than I can say. Everyday I am overwhelmed by everyone's kindness and encouraging words. 

You are a fighter,
a survivor,
a woman of faith and strength.

You are a tough opponent for any challenge.
Even the big "C" in no match for you, 
because you belong to an even bigger "C"-- Christ. 

Ps. 138:3 - On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased. 

If you could please pray for Sean, that he would be healed from his infections and that he would be able to leave the hospital. Please pray for his Mom that she would find strength as she stays there also. I don't believe they are Christians.
