As we were preparing to pack up and head out for our Christmas in July event this morning, the child life specialist from Kosair Children's Cancer Center called. The OMO is closed due to an air duct issue, so all the OMO patients were moved over to 7 West. We elected to reschedule the event so that we can make the most out of it for our OMO kiddos. The event will now take place next Tuesday, August 2 at 11:00 am.
The good news is that leaves more time for all of us to pray! Please continue covering this event in your prayers - for the volunteers and for the families with whom we will come in contact.
Speaking of prayers, please storm heaven's gates for Patrick McSweeney. Reading his mom's update this morning made me all the angrier at childhood cancer. Patrick is 12-years-old, and was first diagnosed with leukemia at age 5. He endured 3 years of treatment, and then enjoyed a few years cancer-free. His cancer returned last April, and, while still in the middle of his intensive relapse treatment protocol, his family received the news last week that his cancer has come back a third time. This also took place the week of the funeral for Patrick's grandpa (his dad's Dad).
Please pray for wisdom and discernment for Patrick's family and his medical team. Please pray for peace, comfort, strength, courage, grace, hope, and joy for the McSweeney family.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support.
Hoping, Believing, and Never Giving up,
Sarah
