Update on Jennifer: Hope With Us!

Me Ra Koh

Remember our dear friend Jennifer?

This is an update and request for urgent prayer.

Jennifer had a bone marrow transplant the first week of February, and the transplant took.

On March 10th she started having severe abdominal pains and ended up in ICU. On Monday she had to have her heart drained of fluid. Yesterday her lungs and kidneys started to have problems, she is now on a respiratory machine. She is fighting to live.

We just got a text message from her sister that the doctors called a family meeting today at 3:30pm. I cannot imagine what her family is going through right now.

Please pray for a miracle in Jennifer’s healing. Please pray the family would feel God’s comfort surround them.

I love the verse my mom just emailed to everyone in regards to Jennifer;

He who created you, who formed you, Fear not, for I have summoned you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters I will be with you… Isaiah 43

Jennifer is unconscious right now, and I wonder where her thoughts are. Does she feel like she’s passing through waters, does she feel God holding her hand? I pray that as all of us hold her up today, Jennifer is feeling herself wrapped tightly in His arms.

Thank you for thinking of her today. If you’d like to email a personal message to Jennifer and her family, you can email Kate_Stinson@hotmail.com. Kate will make sure they get the messages.

If you’d like to see their family blog and read more of what’s happening, you can visit Jennifer’s blog.

    This makes me so sad! I’ve been working for many years now to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society…infact, I just put on an awesome auction (www.dateforthecure.org) last weekend which raised $26,650 for the cause. I wish I could just give every penny of it to help Jennifer pull through.

    I pray for her and her family, for strength and comfort during this time.

    Plain and simple CANCER SUCKS!!!

    God bless!
    Jen
