Much to Praise Him For and Much to Pray About

I think by now many of you have noticed that our dear friends at seminary, Steve and Jen Allen's little daughter Amelia, has a blog concerning her prognosis and daily updates on her condition. Amelia was born just days before Addie and several weeks ago was diagnosed with leukemia. She is finishing her last round of chemo and hopefully will be returning home this week. We give thanks to God for giving her lungs strength and clearing them so the ventalator could be removed. Amelia's cries are now heard and her strength gaining slowly. Praise God that she even will be able to come home soon. Jen and Steve have a very long road of treatment and recovery for Amelia so please keep them in your prayers. Some things to continue to pray for are listed below as well as the link to her website for more daily specific needs to pray about.

Amelia:
*tolerance with the side effets of chemo
*rest
*strength
*stay infection free (very important!!!)

Steve:
*rest, strength, and health (also very important so nothing is passed to Amelia!)
*wisdom with school. Steve is set to graduate this May and move to Tennessee to start a study center in Nashville. This is a very trying time to figure out how all of these things can be accomplished with Amelia's care being of top priority.

Jen:
*comfot, rest and strength!
*more and more opportunities to hold Amelia in her arms and care for her!
*health...Jen has a fever that has kept her away from Amelia for a day now.
