Working Prayers!
Do you ever wonder if prayer really works? Do you ever wish you could see prayer in action? Well, just look at our little Emily!!!! She is definitely an example of the many “WORKING PRAYERS” of our ever faithful prayer chain. THANK YOU to all that pray diligently throughout each day for her.
Eddie & Dawn just called me on their way home from Duke to share a bit of good news. As many of you know they did have to return to Duke yesterday and Emily does indeed have a UTI and they felt the urgency to have the MRI done now, rather than waiting until January. Well, Dr. G spoke with them this morning regarding the above and in his words “I don’t know how to explain it…” You see, while some of the tumors have continued to grow, others have actually decreased in size. This was much better news than had been anticipated. Any decrease in tumor size is reason to be thankful!!!
Also, they have received affirmative word on Emily’s Children’s Miracle Network trip to Disney World. They will be heading to Disney January 13. That gives Emily, & Trey, something to really look forward to for the next 2 weeks.
Until Disney, Emily received a warm and cuddly Christmas present from Santa that will keep her free time occupied. She was a very excited little girl to receive “OREO”, a spiffy little black & white Shitzu puppy. Oreo is a tiny little ball of fur that is currently being potty trained! Emily just loves “Oreo”. Trey & Dawn also love this furry little puppy but Eddie, well, I think he prefers his big, outdoor labs! Right now Oreo is so small I told Emily he cold put her in his shirt pocket to carry around!
Check out the front page of the 12/26 edition of the Topsail Voice!!!! Emily’s story is one of the top 25 stories for 2007. Her picture made the front cover again!!!!!
Dawn & Eddie said to say THANK YOU again to all the Emily prayer warriors out there. It is very obvious that these prayers are working and they are most grateful to all who pray for Emily and their family, but most of all to God for what he is doing through Emily. Through Emily many lives have been touched in so many different ways!
Love,
Stephanie
