Update about Phoebe - 10 June

Yesterday morning we received a phone call from Phoebe asking if she could spend the night at our house. She had been told that she would not see us very much while she was in hospital. She came about 7pm, allowing some bedtime stories. This morning we had the joy of cuddles in bed before we had to get up for breakfast. 


Rachel and Matt have recently made this entry on the 'PrayForPhoebe' FaceBook page.

We just put the kids to bed together for the last time in a long time. Phoebe's chemo starts tomorrow & life is going to be very different for the next 6-12 months. I feel sad but I pray that our Lord Jesus will heal Phoebe through the chemo & will help these next few months go as quickly & painlessly as possible for all of us. Please pray for us when you think of us, especially for Phoebe.

Pray specifically for:

- The cycles between chemo to be faster than anticipated. This will only happen if she heals faster than expected.

- Fewer chemo side effects than expected.

- Us to be able to make good memories and forget the dark days throughout his process.

- Us to find joy in Jesus and the hope of eternity with Him!

- Rachel's & my marriage as the next few months will be difficult as we pass each other often & see each other little.

- Reuben as he copes with not seeing/playing with Phoebe and as he is juggled about between Rach, me, grandparents and friends.

- For the Holy Spirit to comfort us and for us to sense God's nearness.

- For all of our family who aren't able to be with us through this time. It's very difficult on them to be far away from Sheffield.

- Most of all pray the chemo does its job and kills all the cancer in Phoebe's body.

Thank you for ongoing concern and prayers for Phoebe and the family.
