Fighting for her life


A little girl named Cecelia urgently needs your prayers. She is literally fighting for her life right now. I just got back from seeing her admitted to the ICU at a local hospital where she is being treated for a life threatening condition called epiglottitis. She has severe swelling of her throat, difficulty breathing, a fever of 104 and severe dehydration due to the fact that she has not been able to eat or drink anything for a couple days. This is a rare and serious medical condition even with the best medical facilities available.

I was holding her as we waited to see the doctor in the emergency room and she could barely hold her head up. Exhausted from working so hard to breathe, she just kept looking up at me, big dark eyes pleading for help. So, now I plead with you. Please pray for this sweet girl who is struggling to make it through the night.

Thank you.
