Last month I posted about a dear friend who
had cancer once again but was blessed to also
be pregnant for the first time.
To update this story is a sad one.
Unfortunately right before Christmas
Dev and her wonderful soul mate, Jeff
lost their precious baby, a little girl.
Yesterday she was able to finally get all the scans
that had been put off due to the pregnancy.
The cancer is quite extensive in her bones
and a spot on her brain.
Such as Dev. and Jeff are these strong, strong people
they, on their caring bridge site have
leaned towards the optimistic side to say
that the good news is there is no cancer invading
her liver or lungs. The single spot found on her
brain will not interfere with her cognitive state.
She now is awaiting her new course of treatment
and is not sure whether she will be able to be treated
locally in Baton Rouge or will have to travel to
MD Anderson.
Why do I post such news at the end of this year
we call, 2010?
Because it is in times like these, that we read
of someone else's misfortune that we are able
to come together for this cute little family
to pray for them but also to be thankful for
our own blessings, to remember just how
fortunate we all are.
If this family can see God and hope in
a situation such as this then we all need
to feel Hopeful and Love for our fellow man.

Lil,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't sleep last night praying for Dev and Jeff as well as Dev's parents and her step-mother. Dev is such a beautiful person inside and out. She is such a positive and uplifting person. She is very special to us.
