I am sending this to those of you whom I know pray. There is a little girl in my neighborhood who is 3 years old and has been diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma - a very agressive childhood cancer. She is at Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital. She was supposed to have already gone home, but things are not going as well as everyone had hoped and prayed. Miranda is not eating, and she is running a fever. At 37 pounds (actually she's less than that now) she doesn't have a whole lot to lose, and her next round of chemo is supposed to start next Friday. There is a website called caringbridge.org where people can pour out their hearts to people who are interested enough to sign up on this site, and Miranda's mother has a site there for her. If you'd like to keep up with how Miranda is doing - after you pray for her - please go to http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/mirandabeamer. Many of you got an email from me about this family trying to give away their dog because of Miranda's compromised immune system and the fact that Tiffany Beamer, Miranda's mom, just has more on her plate with 3 other little girls than she can handle. So, sacrifices have to be made. Well, Miranda hasn't made it home yet. Quite frankly, I am very worried about this little girl as she is not eating, is losing weight, running a fever and has low blood counts. This little girl has only been on this earth for 3 years. I know her mom and dad want to see her toss her graduation cap in the air, and her dad wants to walk her down the aisle some day. At this rate, kindergarten is starting to look really good. I lost a child - an adult child, but it doesn't matter what their age is when you lose one, it hurts the same, and I don't wish that pain on anybody. I am asking you guys to pray for this little girl, to put her on your prayer lists at church, remember her if you have a daily quiet time. Don't forget her when you start to go to sleep at night - just remember to ask God to help her - to beat this cancer and to let her live a full life. This picture was taken on the trip the Beamers were taking very recently when they found the lump on Miranda's back. She looks so happy and so healthy. She went from what you see in this photo just a few weeks ago to a little girl who cannot eat or drink, vomits a lot, has to be fed with a feeding tube, can't leave her room because of her low blood counts --- well, you get the picture. She needs your prayers. Please remember Amanda in your prayers - ask your children and grandchildren to pray for her. She needs it very badly. That happy little face in that photo has made its way into my mind and heart. God bless that baby with health and many years of smiles and laughter. |

Father I kneel before you again Little Mirranda needs a mirracle. She needs your healing touch. Father that cancer has roots. You spoke to the fig tree and it died. You say in your word Faith as big as a mustard seed. Fathr I ask that you speak to this cancer. You are the great Physician you took the stripes for our healing. Father I ask in the name of Jesus that you will bring healing to that little body. That she will be able to eat again and not be sick.That she will run again and laugh and sing. I thankyou and praise you that you answer prayer. As I ask in the name of Jesus Amen |

O Father of mercies and God of all comfort, our only help in time of need: We humbly beseech thee to behold, visit, and relieve thy sick servant Miranda for whom our prayers are desired. Look upon her with the eyes of thy mercy; comfort her with a sense of thy goodness; preserve her from the temptations of the enemy; and give her patience under her affliction. In thy good time, restore her to health, and enable her to lead the residue of her life in thy fear, and to thy glory; and grant that she may dwell with thee in life everlasting; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

I wake up every morning and start my day with prayer. Before I'm through yawning Jesus Christ is there, To love me and to hold me, lets me know it's care. When my day is over, I bow my head and pray. Brings Jesus a little closer, In my heart He'll stay to guide me even further towards heaven every day Before I lay my head down and before I fall asleep. I put on my night gown don't dare to make a peep. Mama's in the next room and Papa's gone to sleep. I say a little prayer my soul the Lord to keep. | | | |

Madeline update..keep praying for her and her parents
I don't know what else this baby can stand....truly. The procedure that Maddie had this morning was supposed to help drain
several pockets of fluid from her right-side pleural cavity. Think of
the plural space as a plastic bag within a plastic bag. The space
between the two should be a consolidated area, able to be accessed by
one or possible two chest drains. In Maddie’s case, the outer lung
tissue has attached itself to the inner chest wall, creating many
isolated fluid pockets. It is not feasible to insert five or six or
how ever many tubes into her, so the plan was to make a small incision
in her side and ‘feel�?around for the adhesions and try to manually
separate the lung from the chest wall. Unfortunately, like peeling
off an old sticker, some of her lung tissue stuck to the outer wall
and she began to bleed. As expected with thin blood, she bled and
bled and bled. The doctors were finally able to get control of the
bleeding, but only after they replaced two to three body volumes of
blood. We have not yet been able to see her, but expect to any time
now. She is stable at the moment, but for the better part of the day
she was up in the air. More later on the web. Cindy and I seem to
trade off on emotional highs and lows. I am by no means on a high,
but she is certainly low. Please help lift her up. She could use a
boost today. |
