We Need a Miracle and Your Prayers

Mike's cousin, Michelle, and her husband Jeremy have two adorable little girls, Madison and Aubrey. Aubrey turns one in about a week, and about a week ago, she was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive cancer on her liver. Right off the bat, this type of cancer doesn't have the best of survival rates, nonetheless, there is a SURVIVAL rate. Someone's got to be that one...and we're praying that it's Aubrey. It MUST be Aubrey.

She's had 5 days of intense chemo and went home yesterday for just over a week off and then will return for more chemo. The only chances of shriking the tumor to a size where cutting it out or a transplant are even options was a very strong dose of chemo. They say that even if Aubrey makes it, this chemo may give her problems later in life...even a possible loss of hearing. When she goes back for this second round of chemo, they will run a test on the tumor to see if these past 5 days of intense chemo have even had an effect. Please keep Jeremy, Michelle, Madison and sweet, sweet young baby Aubrey in your prayers.

With Love, the Barbrees

Oh my God. That's really all I can say. How awful to be faced with a challenge like this, at such a young age. But thankfully children are very, very strong and bounce back very well. They will all certainly be in my prayers. Please keep us posted...
