prayers are needed for cousin who is the last sister in family
Last summer, one of my cousins died from cancer. Then on May 29, her sister died from cancer. Now, the remaining sister has been told that she has Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The outlook is not good at this time. I just got an update on Barbara and her heart is only working at a 48% capacity. She is on oxygen. Her wbc is over 180,000 and the doctors are trying to get it down to 20,000 for chemo.
This cousin was one that I grew up with. It was bad enough losing the other 2 cousins but this has hit particularly hard. My aunt is living. How does she handle the prospect of losing a 3rd daughter in less than a year? I lost one so I can not imagine what she has been through. This aunt is my mom's sister and her husband was my dad's nephew.
When I talked to my sister the other night she said Barbara's life is in God's hands. We all know how strong He is and He can change her life. Please pray for this family.
Thanks.
She is in the hospital in Tupelo, MS and the doctors are following advice from doctors at a Mayo Clinic.
Very sad story. Praying for the cousin and her family.

This is so sad. Will be praying.
I grew up in Hickory Flat. Prayers up!............
Thank you all for praying. I am really shook up over this but I know the power of God's healing grace.
They are only allowing certain people in to see her and are not allowing any flowers, cards, and food in her area. Since I am getting over pneumonia, bronchitis and a severe sinus infection, I could not get in even if I went down.
I will try to update the thread when I have more info. Thanks again.
Sorry to hear this. It’s one of the saddest things about growing old, especially when you become the “last leaf”.
OTOH, it won’t be that long before we see them again.

I was born in the small town of Houston if you know where that is and went to Mississippi State University. Thanks.

Prayers up for your family, MamaB.

Heavenly Father,
Bring healing to her dear sister. Help this family, let them know You are near.
Amen
Prayers offered for your cousin and the entire family, Mama B.
So heartbreaking.
