Pray for Naomi
Naomi, has been treated for leukemia since April 2007. To date, the treatment has gone very well, and we’ve been looking forward to a treatment end date of August 2008.
Yesterday, Naomi underwent a spinal tap procedure, performed to confirm that the leukemia cells have not returned. Naomi’s mother, Nina, just called me to inform me that the doctors treating Naomi have found abnormal cells in Naomi’s spinal fluid.
At this time, we do not yet know whether the abnormal cells indicate a recurrence of leukemia. On January 28, 2008, Naomi’s doctors will perform another spinal tap in hopes of identifying exactly what the abnormal cells are. The doctors are 85% sure that the abnormal cells are not leukemia, but they are not 100% sure.
Naomi has been doing extremely well; her energy has been high, she’s been growing, her hair has returned, she’s learning at a normal rate (often one of the side effects of cancer is diminished learning capacity. Naomi has not experienced this). We’ve had every reason to celebrate her healing. We pray that she continues to be healthy and won’t have to endure another course of treatment.
Please take a moment to pray for Naomi. Please pray that the abnormal cells are innocuous and NOT a return of leukemia or indicatory of anything else requiring treatment. Pray that the results were a technical aberration and that the next spinal tap will reveal perfectly normal and healthy cells! All of us appreciate your efforts.
