My Warrior Princess

She's not even 4 yet, but she has endured 2 painful air enemas (no sedation or pain relief because of the danger of intestine perforation), one major abdominal surgery, IV lines coming out from left hand, right hand, left chest through her implanted port, lots of repeated blood tests, finger pricks, lumbar punctures...chemotherapy. after each tear has been shed, she smiles a ray of sunshine and dances to praise and worship songs. She reminds me that God has already healed her. She tells me she's not scared as God is with her. I am scared. I am scared witless. I am scared I might lose my little girl. She is my miracle baby, the one that almost didn't happen. What if God loaned her to me for a fleeting moment? Research shows that 85% of lymphoma patients recover. What about the 15%? So far, we keep falling into the minority percentage. We are the 3% chance that got cancer. I'm falling fast but grasping. reaching for a miracle. She tells me thousands are praying for her. I hope God hears the prayers of the faithful thousands.
