Alexis Grace Douglas’ PrayerSite

Her counts never fell, and just like the Dr. said, this chemo has had little to no side effects.

We have one more full day home tomorrow and then we start the 2nd cycle. We will be going daily again for 2 weeks and then 1 week of rest. They plan on re-testing her cancer around the 1st of April. Please pray for her to continue to handle this chemo with little or no side effects. Please pray for Austin to continue to enjoy going to Children’s, she announced in the hallway last week at the hospital ” I love this place!” Everyone looked at her like she was crazy. She has amazing compassion and thank you God that she doesn’t think Cancer = Death. It doesn’t cross her mind. She just thinks this is a battle, and we talk to her as open as possible. I know that Cancer does NOT equal death, too! Alexis has never been more alive! She is so happy, has a little seperation anxiety from mommy, but that’s normal. She will be 9 months this week, wow how time flies!

Cherish every moment, because it will be gone too quickly.

Thank you for praying, and please continue to pray for her to be healed and for to feel great, and please pray for our safety traveling each day, and for the emotions of what we are doing to be a “light” load.

Please pray for all the children and the impact they make on all of us. A wise nurse at Children’s said “no where does it promise us in the Bible any guarantee of our time here on earth”- she’s right. So many times it’s easy to question God & why children have to die or be put thru such horrific things. I still plan on asking him someday! But until then, I will do my best to be thankful for every cuddle and smile!

Enjoy today! God be with you & your families,
Jill
