PLEASE PRAY for ABBY...

A prayer request for Abby from her parents.......Tonight is one of those nights where I am up late thinking about Abby. In a few hours I will be taking Abby to the cancer clinic for more procedures and chemo. Abby knows she will be going, and is not looking forward to it. She only wanted to know if she was go to get a poke in her back (spinal tap). I wish I could have told her no, but unfortunately it that time again.

After her spinal (lumbar puncture), Abby will be getting a IV antibiotic. The scariest moments for me, in the last year, been when Abby had an allergic reaction to antibiotics and her airway swelled (anaphylactic shock). This has happened twice, with two different antibiotics. One time it happened the first time they gave her the medication, but the other time it happened after she had already had several doses of the antibiotic. I pray Abby is not allergic to this antibiotic, too. It would mean a lot to me if you would pray for Abby today. Would you pray that: 1. Abby is not scared before the procedures start and that she is well sedated for the spinal. 2. Abby's brain is protected from any damage that would make it hard for her to learn. 3. Abby would not have any allergic reactions to medications. 4. Abby's spinal fluid and blood would be free of any cancer cells. 5. Wisdom for the doctors as they make decisions about the amount of chemo to give Abby. Last week Abby's white blood cell count was VERY high for someone on chemo (4000 ANC). They want it to be much lower to give Abby the best chance at remaining cancer free.
