Requesting Prayers Tonight

Do you remember me sharing the story of our friend McKensie? Once again I'd like to reach out to you for prayers for her family. She is facing her second relapse, again, just before transplant.

McKensie is a very special little girl. I remember hearing about the new baby on our floor. As soon as I learned of her family I scooted down the hall with Chelsea and introduced myself. I knew how they were feeling. I knew the pain, the tears, the questions, I had been there. Her mom and I spent a lot of time together, we were there for the long haul, and whether she liked me or not, we were doomed to be friends.

Chelsea adores McKensie, and was always asking to go see the baby. There were times she was on isolation, and all we could do was knock on the window (er... lick the window in Chelsea's case) and wave, but that was enough. We miss seeing them everyday, comparing counts, trying to figure out who was going to get to go home first.

While I hope to head up to the hospital soon to visit them, I ask for prayers from you in the meantime. God is good. Pray or Him to lay His healing hands on sweet McKensie. Here is her caring bridge site.

Our little angels together. I wish I had more, but unfortunately this is the only picture of them that survived the computer crash. I had the cutest pictures of Chelsea taking McKensie's vitals, but lost that one too.
