Please help pray for another friend of ours whos little girl Abigail was just diagnosed with Leukemia. (My worst nightmare for Macy.) Abigail and her twin Natasha both have Down Syndrome. This is taken from their family blog.

"Abigail was diagnosed at 2 a.m. this morning with Leukemia. We had taken her in because her leg hurt and she wouldn't walk. We went from probable toddler fracture to Leukemia in 2 hours. 13 hours later she was in surgery getting a permanant port, spinal puncture with chemo, and a bone marrow biopsy. Tomorrow or Sat. she starts 2+ years of cancer treatments. The success rate is 80%. Another fun statistic is that Natasha has a 50-75% chance of getting it. If not now, eventually. Please keep our little fighting angel in your prayers."

We can never know for sure what life is going to throw our way. All we can do is try and "Find the Beauty" in the moments that we do have! Pray that Abigail and her family will have many more of those moments!

I don't even know these people and tears are streaming down my face. I think about the birth of my Rachael, 5 weeks early and no problems, I thank my Heavenly Father every day that all was well. We just never know what is around the corner for us or our children. Sending Prayers their way and wishing I could get a snuggle from Macy.

I really hope it all goes well for them. That is so much to deal with and worry about.
