URGENT REQUEST

Dear Friends and family,

We recieved one HUGE ANSWER to pray today in that Kate's stem cell count was 7 !!! Yes, it's more than tripled and falls in the range to begin the collection tomorrow. Thank you for interceding for Kate. There is truly power in prayer.

With that huge praise and answer came some discouraging news. Our insurance company has denied the request to perform the tandem stem cell transplant. They are saying that there is not sufficient research to support this course of treatment and it is only experimental. Now we have one HUGE REQUEST...PLEASE PRAY that the conversation this afternoon between Kate's stem cell transplant doctor and the insurance company doctor turn this denial around. We are trusting that our God who moves stem cells can easily move an insurance company. That hospital and stem cell team are working hard to battle this. Please ask that God provide the words and wisdom they need to turn this decision around.

As it stands now we are scheduled for admission tomorrow. Please pray that God move the insurance factors that may inhibit us being admitted.

Praying,
Elaine
