[lisams]

Samuel and his family are in my thoughts and prayers. This family has been through far too much suffering.

[Rainbows&Roses]

"Samuel is deteriorating quickly. His WBC is now 154k and he is again taking on fluids into the tissues. We were up all night and changes to meds are being made as we speak to ease his pain. Please pray for the suffering to end and and a quick peaceful transition to Heaven where he can be free from this torture for eternity. "


I bought a pouch from her shortly after Samuel's initial diagnosis so I have been following this story a long time. I can't believe I am reading this last post from her as I thought she would never say these words. It has been such a long journey. I hope they all find peace.

[Kungjo]

Always thinking of Samuel and his family. Sending lots of prayers for him. Poor baby. My heart aches for him.

Praying hard for Samuel's miracle and freedom from pain.

[elephantmeg]

praying for them as I have for a long time.

[LarsMal]

WOW! What an amazing woman Jen is. I don't know where she gets the strength she has, not only to deal with the situation at hand, but have the ability to post about it in such an eloquent way.

My heart is absolutely breaking for that family right now. I just hope they get the peace the all need and deserve very soon, whatever form that comes in.

They remain in my thougths and prayers.

[deborah_r]

This is so heartbreaking. I keep them in my thoughts every day. Poor Samuel who has had to suffer so much. What a beautiful boy.

[VClute]

That woman's faith is boundless. This isn't happening to my family, but I can't help but wonder where the grace is in this whole situation?

I pray that the blessings that might otherwise not have been realized are revealed quickly to Jen and her family.

Lord, hear our prayer.

[shilo]

[blisstwins]

I am humbled.

My thoughts are with Samuel & his family, hoping for a miracle & wishing them peace.
