Back to hospital
"I am bringing Maeve back to the hospital because of diarrhea and tummy ache. Pray that it is a normal side effect and not a symptom of virus. Pray also for Bernard and Paige. Both are getting worst. Paige did not sleep for the whole night because of blocked nose"

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.

Maeve is getting weak
"Maeve is starting to feel weak and she does not want to walk at all. Pray that she regains some strength in her legs and that the leg cramps will go away. She is also starting to ask why the other kids here have no hair. Do not know how to tell her. Pray for wisdom and that she will not lose her self esteem when it happens."

A mother's heartache
"Yesterday was very stressful involving lots of needles and pain. It was very hard watching her go through it all and not understand why I let them hurt her. Pray that today will be event free and we get to just rest. Thank God the side effects have been minimal so far. Except for the mood swings. I know this is because a whole army is praying for Maeve."
Yes, indeed a whole army is praying for Maeve and the Low family. Let's continue to intercede for them!

The Low family is sick!
"Please pray for my family. Mum and dad are sick. Bernard and Paige are sick. I am the only one left standing. Pray all will recover before we go back this weekend. Maeve cannot afford to catch it with her very low immune system."
