My 7 year old grand daughter Laura has just relapsed with Neuroblastoma Cancer. She has been NED (no evidence of disease) since 2-08. She will turn 8 on 4-11-2011. We are heartbroken. I would like to ask for prayers as she begins chemo again this Monday. It will be another tough fight.
 
OH NO Carolyn. I will definately pray for her. My heart just broke for your family. As we have discussed in the past..this is a horrible horrible disease. I will also put her on our prayer chain at church.
 
I just sent it out to my Prayer list. I have known of 2 kids w/that awful disease - and my soon-to-be 8-year-old's best friend was also born on 4/11/03...Love & Prayers
 
So sorry to hear of the relapse. My prayers go out to your granddaughter and her family.
 
Praying for you and your family...If she has a Caring Bridge or Care Pages (or the like), and you feel comfortable sharing it, please do!

I wanted to give everyone an update on Laura. She has been inpatient since Monday receiving high dose chemotherapy. The staff has worked to get a good balance with anti nausea meds and pain medications. Mornings have been rough, but afternoons are better. We can feel all our prayer support around us.
 
Prayers for a healing for your granddaughter and for comfort and strength for everyone who loves her!

Quick update on Laura. She received high dose chemo Mon-Fri last week and is home on IV hydration. It was a pretty rough week, however, she does have periods of feeling spunky. Today is her 8th Birthday!!! Thank you for all your prayers!
 
Happy 8th Birthday to Laura! Hope it's a wonderful day for her:) Glad to hear she has some spunk too! Praying for her as she goes through this tough time.
 
Prayers for you and your family

This is the update on my grand daughter Laura from Trisha: Good news: No New Spots. Bad News: Her tumor didn't respond at all to the high dose chemo. We are switching to radiation immediately. Appointment with the radiation oncologist on Monday.
 
Prayers continue.
 
With tears in my eyes, for this sweet baby I pray, God in Heaven, hold this child in your hands and make her strong and well again. Bring comfort, hope and strenght to who love her. Amen.

Sandi
