Please Pray

One of our friends here at Covenant has just learned that their daughter, Amelia, has been diagnosed with leukemia. She is four months old. Steve and Jen Allen are finishing their last semester at Covenant Seminary and preparing to move to Tennessee after graduation. Amelia was born just a few days before Addie and has recently been sick with a series of viruses and has just not seemed to recover from them. She had her blood tested last night where it was discovered that she had an abnormally high white blood cell count. She has had some treatments to exchange her blood in order to lower the white cell count and also has had chemotherapy this morning. Steve and Jen are waiting for the results of her bone marrow biopsy which will determine the type of leukemia Amelia has. There are several types and some of them have higher rates of being treatable even to the point of full recovery. Please be praying with us for their family and for healing in little Amelia. Steve and Jen need prayer for strength as they wait on the test results and wisdom as they work with doctors on the right course of treatment for her.
