Please storm the gates of heaven...

for a little baby named Shylah!  She is the daughter of friends of ours, Justin and Sarah-Charlotte, who have been through so much in their 2.5 short years of marriage.  SC is a breast cancer survivor, but the cancer came back around the time of their wedding (they didn't know until after their honeymoon--can you imagine that homecoming??)  8 mos. later after a round of chemo, docs told her they needed to remove SC's reproductive organs to keep the cancer at bay.  She was told she had less than a 1% chance of conceiving due to chemo damage from back in her 20's.  By only God's miracle, she became pregnant not once, but twice in the following year, first with their son, Asher (1), and secondly with their daughter, Shylah, born in July.  Both were healthy pregnancies and deliveries, thanks be to God!

Unfortunately, little Shylah had a seizure two weeks ago and has been at CHOP since.  She was diagnosed with hyperinsulinism and docs did a scan today of her pancreas, hoping to find a focal lesion only, which would be easily fixed with surgery.  Can you please pray for this?  If the lesions are throughout the pancreas, her prognosis is much more complicated.  Pray for the doctor's wisdom and for baby Shylah's resiliency.  Also, please lift up Justin and SC and their ability to handle the stress and fatigue while keeping life as normal as possible for their son, Asher.

Thank you, prayer warriors!  God bless,
