We Earnestly Ask Your Prayers for Belle
September 30th, 2009
Belle
The little girl in the above photo is Belle M., whose Daddy is the Youth Minister at our church. Little Belle is two years old and has one brother and two sisters.
Last week Belle was diagnosed with a brain tumor and on Monday surgery was performed for about 8 hours to remove the tumor. The doctor thinks he got all the tumor, but it was malignant.
In addition, a couple of spots were found on her spine. She has had an MRI done to determine what the spots are but I am not yet aware of the outcome of the MRI.
Our entire church is praying Belle will recover fully, her parents and loved ones will have peace and comfort, and that Belle will be able to live a normal, happy life after this horrible diagnosis.
I am earnestly asking you to pray along with us for Belle. The first 48 hours after surgery are the most dangerous, and that will end at approximately 8:00 pm Wednesday.
As I write this we have people at the church taking turns praying all night, round the clock for Belle and her family.
Thank you for your prayers for this sweet little girl.

What a beautiful little girl facing such a heartbreaking circumstance.
In all you have told me about the members of your Church, I am certain that there will be no stone left unturned in prayer or support for this family.
Belle will be in our thoughts and prayers.

We sincerely appreciate all the prayers going out for Belle and ask that you pray without ceasing for this little girl and her family.
Pray that she will not have to have more surgery to put shunts in for the fluids to drain, for her parents to have the emotional and physical strength (they have the faith)to get through this long process of treatment and healing, and for the other 3 children in the family who see their mother only sporadically.
Also pray that the high deductible will be met without the family having to pay it. They chose a high deductible plan and the last I heard we were about $900 from reaching the full amount so it doesn’t have to come out of their pocket.
This is a long haul project, and as the father said in the beginning, we are in a marathon and need to pass each post. Please do not give up praying for little Belle to heal and for the rest of the family.
Thank you for your prayers, whether you have commented or not.
