Alan’s Army

BOB,

But of course!

I know the Alan’s Army updates are reaching hundreds, perhaps thousands at this point including many church prayer chains.  I am quite sure that Peggy will be lifted up in short order.  Please keep us posted.

Thanks and God Bless,

Big Dog

hey there Big Dog and friends,
hear’s one of the other people in my life with brain cancer that needs your prayers too.
This note is from my mom and I know you don’t know her but I hope you can include Peggy in your prayers.
Thanks and peace,
BOB
 Hi,
 Peggy is my daughter’s best friend. She is 32 yrs old and just graduated as a Medical Assistant in the state of Washington. Her picture is enclosed.  Peggy is a single mom with two sons, AJ who is 11 and Avery who is 9. Peggy home schooled the boys until two years ago when she went to work.  While studying for her Medical Assistant exams Peggy had migraines and the pain brought her to the emergency room one night in mid February. Peggy was told she had a glioblastoma multiforme tumor, which is stage 4 brain cancer.  The 1st crainiotomy was less than 24 hours later. Two weeks later Peggy began 6 weeks of chemo & radiation.   The follow up MRI on May 12th, showed that the tumor did not respond to treatment. In fact it grew much larger than it was originally and spread to an additional part of her brain.
 
 Peggy’s.2nd surgery was May 16th. She did sooo well, and was released Monday, the 19th of May, only to be brought back into the hospital on the 20th with hydroencephalitis (water on the brain). This was treated and she was released on Saturday May 24th….within a few hours of being home, she ran an extremely high fever and had to return to the ER……She now is battling Staff infection in her bone (they did a bone flap on Tues/Wed.) as well as a secondary infection.  
 Please join us in prayer for Peggy and for the small brave circle of friends (including my daughter Heather) who are nursing her through this terribly hard time.
 Peggy is a strong woman with an amazing sense of humor as she battles this disease but she needs Jesus help. Peggy’s friends have asked that we pray for a miracle and complete recovery.  I want to add that we also pray that Peggy will receive the gift of faith and with it the peace that surpasses human understanding.     
  
 Thanks, I will keep you posted.
