Daisy Love

http://prayfordaisy.com/


Please pray for Daisy Love Merrick. She is only 6 years old and is battling cancer for the second time. She was diagnosed with a Stage 3 Wilms Tumor last September. She underwent surgery and 6+ months of Chemo and Radiation. She was declared disease free in May. Earlier this month Daisy complained of stomach pains, a CT Scan revealed a large tumor. Only 1/3 of the tumor could be removed because it is intertwined with major organs. The biopsy revealed that it is a recurring Wilms Tumor (this only happens to about 80 children in North America per year) and she has only a 30-50% cure rate.

My roommate Liz and I have been praying for Daisy and her family since the terrible journey began. We've shed tears and we've rejoiced. We fell in love with Daisy from the very first post (http://prayfordaisy.com). How could we not... she is adorable!!

Daisy Quotes:

Awhile back when Daisy was asked what she wanted to be when she grows up, she replied “I’m leaning toward astronaut, but maybe warrior for the Lord.”

The other day Daisy was looking at our globe, spinning it around. She started kissing it as it spun, over and over. We asked her what she was doing and she said “I’m kissing all the people who pray for me!”.

Please join us in praying for her and her family!!

Pounding on the doors of Heaven,

Yvonne
