Prayer for a Birthmark Buddy in the UK

One of the blessings that has come from Greer's birthmark journey are the friends we have made along the way.  It is unbelievable how many friends we have come to know through support groups, google searches, blogs, conferences, and word of mouth.  I am so thankful for these friends and for the support, encouragement, understanding, information, and prayers they bestow upon us.  It is truly one of the main ways I have been able to get through this all so confidently.


I think I met Sharon through my blog (is that right Sharon?).  She was doing a search on the Internet concerning Port Wine Stains, and she found us.  She was interested enough in our story to contact me, and from there we became friends on Facebook.  Her little Remy has just turned 2, and she has a PWS on her beautifully precious face.  She is purely delicious (as is her baby sister Maddie).  We have swapped stories, pictures, concerns, and joys.  We've talked about faith and trusting God.  We've talked about doctors visits and treatment options.  I have been praying for sweet Remy and her mom, and thank God for bringing us together.

Remy has not yet been able to start laser treatments for her PWS.  There have been unforeseen obstacles, and Sharon has had to cancel treatments for Remy for now.  Remy has been very sick...and she can't seem to get better.  She had a terrible case of chicken pox several months ago, and has not been the same since.  She is weak and sickly, and her mom is very concerned about her.  The doctors can't figure out what is going on.  

Please take some time today to pray for Remy, and to pray for Sharon.  Pray for the doctors to discover what is ailing her and how to make her better.  Please pray for her to be healed so that she may begin her treatments soon.  Please pray for Sharon to have peace and to know that she is a wonderful Mommy.  Please pray in whatever way you feel led.
