Rebecca is a 3 1/2 year old who has been diagnosed with mitochondrial disease which is a degenerative disease of the cells. Her sweet spirit has carried her through so much pain and trauma already. Tonight, she is in the hospital in Houston after she began vomiting on Tuesday. She is in a lot of discomfort and only gets a reprieve when they give her her medication. Go to her mom's blog for all the details. Please, please pray for her healing and that of her two sisters who have also been diagnosed with mitochondrial disease.
Please also pray for their parents Joy and Tom who are in that awful place of sitting next to their sick child and unable to help. I knew Joy when she was a girl with a big smile and a ready laugh. This is such a difficult path to be on, and yet they walk it with such grace and deep faith.
Please post about them on your blogs and ask your readers for prayers. You can copy the button at the top of my blog, or the link right here. Let's storm Heaven for the Roeh family and ask for God's mercy and grace for them all.
Thank you

Hear my words, O LORD; listen to my sighing.Hear my cry for help, my king, my God! To you I pray, O LORD;at dawn you will hear my cry; at dawn I will plead before you and wait. (Ps. 5)
God bless her. And the whole family. I just posted this link on my facebook.
Life's problems seem so small when compared to those of a sick child.
Lots of prayers for the girls and parents.
I just mentioned to a friend that it's almost harder to have a loved one sick in the hospital than you yourself being sick in the hospital. I don't know why that is.
To quote Donald Trump when he was on Oprah, "Life is fragile." Yep, that's what The Donald said.
May the Holy Spirit squeeze the Roeh family in a big spiritual bear hug.
Prayers and tears...
PS: This is so scary. I just really looked at the pictures of Rebecca. She looks like a mixture of me and my daughter when we were that age.
