This morning we found out that Malachi, the 14-month-old son of some friends of ours, has been diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Luekemia (AML). Malachi is the son of my friend, Kerri, who has commented on this blog often, and he will start chemotherapy tomorrow. Please pray for this sweet family and all they will endure in the coming weeks. I cannot imagine, as a mother, what my friend must be going through right now.
Here is what Kerri has specifically asked us to pray:
"Please pray for Malachi to be healed of this disease that is destroying his body, and if it is not in God's plan for him to be fully healed, to suffer the very least and to be with God in heaven. Pray for Emily [his older sister] to understand as much as she possibly can, to enjoy her brother and to feel the love so many have for her. And for now pray for the doctors administering to Malachi. Specifically Dr. Hawkins the Fellow Doctor we will be dealing with for the first month."
