Need your Prayers, please.

I need to ask you for a favor. On our pray list is a boy named Allen Woelmer. He is Eilish's age and have cancer. He has been dealing with cancer for quite awhile. He seemed to be doing better lately yet he just had a MRI. They were hoping for good news yet we are all sadden to see the results of his scan. This is what they told us.


Well Allen got his MRI on Friday and I am sad to report that his tumors have grown back. They are the same size they were when we got here and he has some new ones different then the original ones he had. The Dr's said that there is one chemo we can try. Its a chemo he has had before but its given everyday for three weeks. He gets it in his NG tube. Its a chemo we can give him In the Ronald McDonald house.
The other option we have is to give him a chemo in the clinic. We would have to go to the clinic 5 days a week for three weeks. The Dr's said that they are not sure which one would work better because we are in unchartered territory. So Susan and I feel that the chemo that we give at the house would be better so Allen isn't in the clinic everyday. He can be with us in the comfort of the room. He can play and do the things he wants to do.
He can't get the chemo until his counts come up they are at 362 and need to be at 500 to receive the chemo. So on Tuesday we will get his counts to see if he can start the chemo. We are just hoping that we are making the best decision for Allen. He is feeling well and is in good spirits you can't tell that hes sick. Hes playing and acting like a normal kid. They told us that where the tumors are different things can happen and we need to keep an eye on him for the changes they expect us to see. PLEASE pray for Allen he need them more than ever now.
They have helped in the past so tell everyone to pray and pray hard. We are sorry for the bad news but we feel you all need to know the seriousness of this. Thanks you all for your continued support love and kindness. We will try and keep you posted as to his progress. Thanks again.
Love the Woellmers

Please, pray and fast for Allen. They have already lost one daughter to this kind of cancer. I can't imagine loosing another child. The heavens need to hear us and feel our faith. Let's see a miracle happen. Thanks so much. Check out his web site and get to know this little guy. I can't wait to meet him in person.
