pray for cora

this sweet precious girl is fighting for her life.

i wasn't going to blog about this.

i thought it was just too sad....too much for me...not my place.

but then i visited her and her mother and grandmother yesterday.

it's just the worst place you want to be as a mother.

it was almost more than my heart can take this week.

i decided to blog it because she needs our prayers more than i can worry about making you sad.

will you pray for her?

and for all of her family.

she is so tiny.  

so fragile.  

please Pray.

here is her parents blog.

and a place to donate money if you feel led.

OK - I am going to read about this on her parents blog but I just know I will end up in tears. Thanks for sharing though, it makes us all feel thankful when we have healthy children.

[Lanny Stanard]

Oh Megan, I'm so sad what's going on over there! I'm asking why and I know I shouldn't... I will pray a whole bunch that's for sure, I'm thinking I'll feature you next week to much going on to much sadness! I'm so sorry :(
much love, Lanny

[Amanda Jo]

What a sweet angel! I will certainly lift them up in prayer today and every time the Lord brings them to mind.

Thank you for sharing these sweet people with us.

[Rachel]

Bless this child and her family...I will keep them in my thoughts.

[danyele]

praying for that precious little pea...

[Marla Taviano]

I've been praying for Cora since yesterday when I heard. Oh my goodness, she's gorgeous!!

[PamperingBeki]

I felt strange blogging about it too, but I really felt like I had to try and help.

The only things I'm decent at are blogging and making jewelry, so I did blog about it.

It's incredible to see people all over the world praying for Cora and the family.

[Darby]

My prayers are with them.

[Pattie]

Hey, Meg,
I hope it's OK that I sent out a prayer request for the family on my blog. I should have asked you first and didn't think about it until I had already posted.

[Shelly H. (in Overland Park, KS)]

Hello Meg,
Thank you for sharing to let us know about Cora.
I also went to their family's blog, and posted a note to let them know that they will be in my prayers.

Oh Meg...so terribly sad. I cannot even imagine what they are going through?? I am adding little baby Cora to my prayer list. Please keep us updated...and I will be looking forward to another post with lots of color :) The sadness is too much sometimes isn't it?! God is good though...it doesn't mean I still don't wonder why?

[Wendy]

She is adorable. Prayer is such a powerful thing. It can work miracles. Our 10 year old son went through 3 open heart surgeries, pneumonia, and RSV in his first three years. It was prayer, hope, and faith that got us through. All involved in his health care (including us) admit that he is truly a miracle.
I will pray for a miracle for Cora.

[Deb]

Prayer is so powerful! You did the right thing.
I have many prayer warriors in my life so I am going to ask everyone to pray for Cora. God Bless.

[traci]

checking out her blog and absolutely yes...I will pray for her....and I am now!! Thank you for sharing, we NEED to pray for each others burdens and there is power in prayer and the number who pray and believe!!!! God is Good!!

[katy]

I will absolutely pray for that precious child!!!!!!!!!! I will go over to her parents blog. That's terrible, NO ONE should lose a child....my heart hurts for them. What a sweet sweet little girl. The power of prayer!
Thank you for posting about her and letting us know.

[Jill Adkins]

I am so glad you shared- I will storm the heavens with prayer for this sweet child and her family!
Many Blessings!

[Amy De La Garza]

Thank you for sharing this with us. You were absolutely right to ask us to pray. I am praying for her now, and for her parents, doctors, nurses and everyone else involved. I am praying that the Holy Spirit fill and sustain them all, and that Cora is healed completely of this disease. Please keep us posted.

[Lazy Mom Leslie]

Praying here! It's not a bad thing to feel sad, it's good to be thankful for what you have and to pray for others! Praying!

[chris]

[Jennifer]

Oh she is so precious. Yes, we will pray for her and her family.

[Christy]

I don't even know what to say. I just couldn't imagine.

Prayers they have got. I hope beautiful & precious baby Cora will be okay.

[Kate]

wow. really really sad story. she's such a doll. i'll never understand such horrible illnesses being inflicted on children.

i'll keep her in my prayers.

[Dana@BoysMyJoys]

Praying for Cora!

[Kelly]

praying for sure!

[colleen]

Thanks for posting this. When you go through this with your child, the power of mass prayer is what is needed. The words in their guestbook will bring them peace and comfort. It helped tremendously when we were in the thick of it all with Ellie. Cancer is so wrong and to see your child go through all the treatment and then having to worry about the cancer coming back is all just horrible. But when you have God on your side, you can get through it. Ellie's journey has been the worst time in our lives and the best time. We get life now and see things so much clearer then we ever have. Ellie is so amazing and we are enjoying each and every day and giving all the worry over to God.
You did the right thing to post this.

About lost last night- I missed JACK and Kate.

[Melissa]

Oh, my word! Praying, praying, and praying some more.

[Ann]

Hi Meg,

I have already begun praying for this sweet little girl and her family. Thank you for sharing about her - prayer is so powerful. Just remember God is always in control during the rough storms in life. Seeing your blog today reminded me once again how precious life is and not to take a single day for granted. I will continue to pray for her and her family.

[Amanda Rettke]

That is one beautiful child...

Blessings-
Amanda

[Tracy]

Thanks for letting us know, Meg - I have added sweet baby Cora and her family to my prayer list. Big Hugs, Trac~

[meredith]

Thanks for sharing about this Meg - if this is not the best use of your blogging friends who care for you and yours, I don't know what is. I've been to her parents blog and have taken note of their prayer points. Me and my family are on to it. Let's rally.

[Lori]

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to pray for this beautiful baby and those who love her. It is an honor. I agree with you - cancer sucks.

[pam]

God. Yes. I'll pray for this darling child and her parents. God bless them. xo

[Daisy Cottage]

Prayers going up for this beautiful, beautiful baby girl.
Love,
Kim

[jennifer]

Oh Meg, thanks for sharing. I remember when you posted those adorable pictures that you took of her. We'll be praying...

[Shannan]

This brings back all kinds of memories - we went through a very similar situation 2 years ago with our 22 month old son. God is sovereign and he gave Cora to her mommy and daddy for a reason. He is mighty to save, and I will be praying. Those prayers pulled us through.

[FiveCamels]

Thank you for giving us a way to help AND a list of prayers. She'll be in my prayers.

[Ashley]

... and it all happened so recently! It's just terrible. No child should have to suffer the way that sweet baby is suffering. I will most definitely pray for her!

[Queen Bee]

We are praying, we are praying, we are praying. You've had waaaaay too much sadness in your life lately. We'll be praying for you and everyone surrounding this beautiful child as well.

[Kelly O.]

I've just cried and cried. My shirt is wet from tears. As a mother this hits all too real and painful. This little girl is so precious. I will pray. Hard.

[Jen R]

I'll pray! She's beautiful!

[Alice]

She is so adorable. I can't believe that is happen to her. She and her family are in my prayers.

[Gini]

Oh, Meg. I could not even read their blog. I will lose control....I could barely look at the pictures. But whatever has come to that family, I will surely pray...I am so sorry for what they are dealing with...so so sorry...

[meleea]

thank you for sharing this! we will be praying and following the blog.

[Tenille]

I was just introduced to your blog, love it.
Thank you for sharing this with us. I (and alot of other people) are lifting her up often!
God Bless you and your family!

[heather lea]

poor sweet little girl...i keep coming back to your blog to look at her sweet face. i am praying for her and her family, and your sanity. take care :)

[Jamie]

I went to your friend's blog & it made me cry. She's such a cutie. You sure do hug your kids a little harder after you read a story like that. Thanks for sharing. They are in my prayers.

[Lauren]

Hi Meg! I just want you to know that I will be praying for baby Cora. The power of prayer is an amazing phenomenon!
Also, I want to encourage everyone to read a small book called Angel Unaware. I'm not sure of the author, but is about a little child with a disability and altough she can't communicate with her family, she communicates with God as she is an angel. It will change your outlook on children. I truly believe, especially as babies, that children are angels and maybe Cora was sent to teach us all something. You can hold on to the fact that somehow, some way, God will be glorified through all of this.

[traci]

meg, i am so sorry. thank you for sharing this. the power of prayer is bigger than us. so all of us praying for her has got to help. {{{HUGS}}}

[susanne]

this is so sad. i hope she stays strong and fights. please keep us posted.

keep saying prayers. i will too.

[Cherry Tree Lane]

I'm not sure if I already commented, but I posted this on my blog so that even more people can pray! Praying the Lord heals this little life.

[Trish]

my heart breaks for little Cora and her family.

I will be praying.
Thanks for sharing her with us.

[Ashlie]

Of course I will pray!! How can I not lift that sweet face up to our Lord?! Thank you for blogging about this so we all have the oppurtunity to pray for her.

[kasey@lolabboutique.com]

o.k.,
she is so in our prayers tonight!!!!!!!

[Amber]

I said a prayer for sweet little Cora and her family last night after reading this and will continue to keep them in my prayers. It just makes my heart ache. I realize how much I have to be grateful for.

[Holly Nickel]

Megan,

We'd like to send some cheerful books to Cora from the kids at Pages. Do you know how we could get them to her in a non-intrusive way?

-Holly (Ben's Mom)

[beth]

Yes I found her blog last week and just cried over this little baby...Today I asked one of my blogging friends to make a button for her and she did so if you would like this button and feel free to pass this along to others...please do so. Beth

[pve]

Cora is one strong little gal. I am praying for her and her family.
