Prayers Requested..
I received an email the other day from a friend of mine. She used to be my roommate about 12 or so years ago. Instead of explaining her situation this is a copy of what she wrote....
"Hi Sandi & Will,
Hope everyone had a great Christmas. We celebrated with my family this year. It's the first time since we've been married. Robb actually had the day off. That was the good news...the bad news is that my mom has Melanoma throughout her body. We found out the day after Thanksgiving that it was Melanoma, 2 weeks later after many tests the doctor told us mom only has 4-6 months to live (that's with treatment). She actually feels pretty good & the doctors think it's a miracle that she is not bed ridden. She began radiation shortly after Thanksgiving & just finished a round of Chemo. We are truly praying for a miracle for a complete healing in her body. Heather is getting married in February and mom plan on being there, she even booked her annual vacation to Nantucket with dad the end of July. She doesn't feel it's her time to go and is totally expecting God to heal her. I come up every weekend and do my best to help dad out. She has lost feeling in her legs below her knees, kind of like they're always asleep, because of a tumor pressing on her spine but she's still walking around. Please keep her in your prayers. Just found out today that they had to stop radiation for a couple of days because her blood platelets, which are supposed to be 150 are at 60, we're praying that this will improve in the next few days or she may have to have a blood transfusion. On top of all that Robb's grandma died on December 20th & they had the funeral on the 22nd. Merry Christmas it was not but we are thankful for a God that gets us through every situation and a wonderful family (and church family) to help us along the way. If you're ever in Stroudsburg on a Sunday you should stop in at the church and see us. It's on Ann Street behind the Ribbon Factory. Again, please pray for mom.
Love,
Melissa"
Please Keep Melissa and her family in your prayers.
Thank you.
