VERY IMPORTANT IN NEED OF PRAYER CHAIN LETTER. . ..
Hi to all my friends and family,
I felt compelled to spread this story about son's best friend, Sam who
is 8 (on the left in the photo above). He is in MAJOR need of Prayer.
The following story is what his mother Cindy (we are in MOPS
together) wrote today.
Background Story
Our son Sam is a wonderful young man who is 8 years old. He will be 9
in January. He is going into the 3rd grade in Reynoldsburg , Ohio .
Sam had been having some pain in his right knee most of this summer
(2009). As the pain increased we realized that something might be
wrong and we made an appointment for him to see an Orthopedist on
8/10/09. At this doctors appointment an X-ray was done of Sam's
leg/knee and it showed that there was a mass that the doctor believed
to be cancerous. Samuel went into the hospital just a few days later
for a series of tests. He received a cat scan, MRI, and also a full
body scan. Our family met with the pediatric oncologist the following
day and Samuel was diagnosed=2
0with a type of cancer called Osteosarcoma
(stage 4). The cancer is in his right knee and it has also spread to
both of his lungs. This is an agressive type of cancer and it will be
treated with agressive forms of chemo. We are asking everyone to
please lift up our litle boy Samuel Gordon Bish in prayer. We pray for
healing!! We serve a mighty God and we know that HE can heal Sam if
that is his will for Sam's life. Please be prayer warriors along with
our family as Sam starts this very difficult journey in his young
life.
Today's date is August 16th, 2009 and all this has happened in 6 days.
His first appointment was on Monday the 10th and by Friday the 14th
he was in the hospital getting his Chemo-port put in his chest and a
biopsy done.
I figured if an animated woman walking around the world for cancer can
get passed to millions, then so can this story.
PLEASE KEEP THIS GOING TO YOUR CONTACTS IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK!
SAM CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH PRAYERS.
WE PRAY FOR HEALING AND PEACE FOR HIS FAMILY. . .There are also 2
younger sisters.

God Bless and protect you!
See ya, Bye,
