Please pray for a 7 yr old with Leukemia

I would like to ask for prayer for Jacquelyn. She's 7 yrs old and was diagnosed with luekemia in late June. The prognosis isn't that great, the doctors give her no more than a 50/50 chance to survive. She has been taking chemotherapy treatments every other week and has been a trooper and so brave.

She is supposed to be having another treatment this week but she can't because she is too sick. She has a blood fungus and some kind of infection and she's in extreme pain. They have her on morphine. I'm just so concerned about her. She's such a beautiful little girl, so full of life and personality and I know she's in God's hands but we all love her so much we want her here with us.

My daughter-in-law said that she teared up in front of her the other and Jacquelyn hugged her and told her don't worry I'll be okay. Saturday, they let my grandchildren see her and they read her a book but she's been too sick most of the time to have any visitors except her parents.

I ask everyone I see to pray for her and I know how faithful so many of you are and I'd like you to add your prayers.

I wish I had a picture of her, you'd all fall in love with her immediately.

Poor baby. Prayers being said. Did they put her back on Morphine? I wish they would put her back on a steady morphine drip. I hate to hear about her suffering like this.

It has always been my understanding that the body heals better when it isn't concentrating on the pain, but on healing. There really is a body of science behind that theory. I'm "not" a doctor.. just brainstorming here.

I also know from my past experience working in Peds in a hospital, that sometimes families worry about using sedative drugs, but there really is a benefit from using pain medications in situations like this. There could be reasons they can't use sedation too. Just a tough tough situation. I'm so so sorry.

Anyway.. prayers are being sent to our Father in Heaven.. may He guide all involved and give comfort and healing. Such a sad situation. Just heartbreaking!!

Thank you for the update, and a chance to send more prayers for this little one.
