I had hoped to be silent for a while, but this morning has been tough and I need to ask for your prayers! Alyssa is absoulutly fine, but some of our dear friends are having trying and hard days right now. This combined with 2 other children earning their wings this week is a bit hard to swallow.
Zach is getting an MRI today and his other scans hopefully by weeks end. His dad, Rob, is very concerned as Zach's counts did not recover quick enough from the treatment he was getting and he has to switch to another treatment.

Things are simply not good with Emily Adamson. Her family had to face some VERY hard things yesterday and really need our prayers.

We have become very close to these kids and their families..I can't tell you how hard this is on us knowing that our child could be in the same situation right now. However, with your help, God had listened and graced her and us with another good day in which we will cherish. As I watch Alyssa dance tonight, I will be praying for these children and thanking God that my daughter is dancing on earth!
With hope,
Paula

In 2005, three year old Alyssa Weekley was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called "neuroblastoma." Alyssa and her family have endured multiple surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy treatments. She is currently in remission, and has demonstrated an indomitable and courageous spirit throughout her illness. The Weekley's have been an inspiration to all that know them.
