I've seen so many requests for prayers on here, I was hoping I would never have a need to ask for help but the time has come....
My 6yr old niece was diagnosed with a brain tumor 18 months ago. They caught it early, before it spread, had surgery to remove it and she's had chemo and radiation since then. She was scheduled to have her very last chemo treatment this coming weekend to be declared in remision and be on the road to recovery. She's very frail and of course has lost all her hair, we were looking forward to her becoming a normal little girl again. Well, last week she started getting Vertigo (dizziness) and her eyes were "flipping". The Dr's thought it was the medicine so they scaled it back, but it didn't go away. Yesterday they discovered swelling in her meninges (sp? the lining of the brain) and it can be one of two things - possible meningitis which is treatable or (God forbid) a return of her cancer to the meninges of the brain. They took fluid from her spine yesterday and we are awaiting the results this morning.
Please, please, please pray for this little girl. Her name is Abigail Futterman, she lives in Maryville, TN.....and she has an identical twin named Kitra. If anything were to happen to Abi, it would devistate her twin. My family is just torn to pieces about this because she was so close to being done. I appreciate all prayers and I will keep you posted when I hear the results. Thank you all. <(' ')> <(' ')>
