Our dear friends have just learned that their SIL who is 8 months pregnant has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia. They will be inducing the baby today, giving her two days to recover and then starting chemotherapy on Monday. The prognosis is very grim with the doctors giving the mother only 2 weeks to live.
The couple also has 2 little girls ages 6 and 3.
The family is in shock, as you can imagine, and they are begging for prayers and hoping for a miracle. They are asking for prayers through the intercession of St. Gianna Molla.
Update 6/30
Quote:
Kim gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on Saturday! He is a little small because he was a bit early.He is in the NICU. He will probably be discharged Monday or Tuesday. Kim can not be with him as she is now on the cancer floor.Please pray they can be together. Also, the family cannot stay in the Ronald McDonald House once the baby is discharged. Kim wants her husband and all her children with her. Please pray also that they can all be together through this ordeal.
Kim will start chemo on Monday.
The situation is quite grave.
I truly appreciate all of your prayers and sacrifices. I beg you to please continue them.
I can not thank you enough |
|
|
Update 7/15:
Quote:
Kim was put on a ventilator Sunnday night and is in the ICU for a type of pneumonia.
The situation is extremely grave.
Please beg St. Gianna Molla and all of heaven for her recovery. |
|
|
Update 8/4:
From my friend:
Quote:
We have our miracles!
Kim is recovering!
She has survived the pneumonia!
The leukemia is in remission!
Thanks be to God!
Thank you Saint Philomena and all the saints!
She still has a LONG way to go.
She will be moved out of ICU today!
She is "out of of it" due to ICU psychosis and other similar issues.
We hope she can see her children soon! Her oldest talked to her on the phone yesterday!
I can not thank you enough for all you prayers.
Please keep Kim in your prayers as she continues to heal.
We are so grateful for the TWO miracles; the clearing of pneumonia and the remission of the cancer!
It is astounding! |

Thank you. I forgot to add that the understanding now is that the baby would not be allowed to be on the chemo floor. Please pray, too, that there will be a way for mother and baby to be together.
