Special Prayer Request!!!
There is a couple that my parents go to church with in Arkansas that have a little baby girl who NEEDS your prayers! I am also friends with them and have known the mother all her life. Their names are Kristy and Josh Dement. They have a little baby girl who is 7 months old and was diagnosed with Krabbe (French word) disease. They found out a couple of days ago and the doctors told them there is nothing they can do. This is a very rare disease. The doctor told them that this is the first case he's seen in 10 years. It has something to do with a chromosone. She will start losing weight, eventually go blind and deaf, and then will have to be put on a feeding tube. They only give her about 6 months to live. What's even more sad is that Kristy and Josh share the same chromosone, so they will never be able to have another baby. They will have to adopt. Please, please pray for this family! You don't realize how blessed you are with happy, healthy children, until you hear a story like this one! I can't imagine what they must be going through! We do know, however, that God is so good and he does answer prayers!! Please pray for the parents strength and their little girls health. Thanks to you all!

I will pray for the family. I cannot imagine!
Please please let them know that Chad and Teale in Alabama, whom they don't know, will be praying for them. Our hearts go out to them.
You are so right, we don't truly realize how blessed we are. I will be praying for them.
That is just a devastating thing to read. Bless their hearts, I cannot fathom how they must be feeling right now. I will be praying...
Please tell them that we are lifting them up daily!! Keep us posted!
What was Kristy's maiden name? We'll be praying in El Dorado!
Cara, her maiden name was Rapert. Her parents are Richard and Deanna. Her sister's name is Amber. Thank you for all your prayers!
How sad - to know every day what is going to happen. My heart aches for them! I will pray for them, too.
Elizabeth-
When you see this, check your mom and dad's e-mail (I didn't have yours). I e-mailed you a blog header.
