Please pray for my 3 year old niece (cancer)

[msweise26]

My 3 year old niece has just been diagnosed with level 2 cancer of the brain and spine. 90% of the tumor was successfully removed, with the other 10% being gelled around the central nervous system of her brain and inoperable. She will soon be undergoing intensive chemo/radiation. She also has lost her ability to swallow and is particularly weak on her right side. Other side effects are as yet unknown, but are becoming more apparent daily.
Please, please, please keep Rosie in your thoughts and prayers. She is a feisty little girl and I think that it is working in her favor. This came out of left field for our family and the past week has been an emotional rollercoaster.

We have established a website if you'd like to sign the guestbook with well wishes.

Thank you so much for your prayers!

Also, if anyone knows where I can purchase head wraps for children with designs such as my little pony, dora, barbie, etc. Please let me know. I am finding tons of other styles, but can't find a custom site that makes them. If you or someone you know makes and sells them, please let me know.

I will pray for your niece. If she is " fiesty" as you say, she might beat it!
I had cancer and got rid of it. So hopefully she will too, she is younger and stronger than me, so if I can do it, I'm sure she will too.
But, I will pray until she is better. I wil pray for you and your family too, it is rough to go through things like that.
I'll look for head wraps. Would it be possible to get hospital address or yours, to send her some cards?
Please kep us uddated on her progress. Linda

Thank you to everyone who has prayed and/or left comments here or on Rosies guestbook. Here is an update on Rosie:

We were told that the doctors believe she may have a rare form of cancer. I wasn't there when the doctors were letting her parents know, so I'm not sure of any specific name they have but has something to do with the cancer cells in her spinal fluid. Only 7 cases a year are treated at St Judes, and only 1 case a year is seen at Devos Childrens hospital, where she is at. It is treatable, but the massive amounts of chemo and radiation required to treat it would leave her severely mentally handicapped...we were told the IQ average is around 55 for survivors.

It's not been confirmed that this is what it is, so we are staying positive. Rosie has made great progress in her recovery from surgery. Her swallowing ability has returned (she dined on a meal of mashed potatoes and chocolate milk two nights ago!) and she walked by herself without losing her balance. She is still in pain from the surgery, but given that her chances of being paralyzed were practically 100%...what a miracle. If all goes well and she does not need to be sent to St Judes for treatment of the more severe form of cancer, she will be sent home for outpatient chemotherapy sometime next week with a 70% chance of survival, which we optimistically view as she'll go to prom, get married, have children, have grandchildren and go to God at around 110.

If you would like to send her a card or well wishes...please message me and I will be more than happy to send an address to forward them to.

We are amazed by the goodness of people and the support our local and online community have given our family throughout this.

First you have our familys prayers for your family.My sewing skills are not good so I got my Mom to make headwraps for a my friends little girl.I got patterns off the net.She liked the hats made from the patterns on the Martha Stewart website best.My Mom made them from polar fleece so they would be very soft.My girls and I decorated a few with hair extentions we got at a wig shop so she could still have fun with hair clips and bows.

Rosies site says Rosie has a fav blanket that comes from Mexico that her Mom wants to find another of, so she can have one in use and one in wash.I live in AZ so we many products from Mexico in stores here.Some of my friends travel every month to Mexico to buy prescription meds, we sometimes go with to help them.If you can post a pic of the blanket I will try to find one like it.

Another set of prayers that God bless Rosie and all who Love her!
