Please pray for Kate....

This is little Kate McRae.

I have been following little Kate and her family for a while now, since 2009. Cheering at every good moment, tearing up at the bad moments and praying the entire time for this beautiful little girl and her family.

You see, little Kate was diagnosed in 2009 with childhood cancer. Her Mommy and Daddy were told that little Kate had a massive tumor on the left temporal lobe of her brain. From there,Kate's Mommy wrote on their Caring Bridge Site that "Kate underwent a craniotomy with tumor resection on July 3rd, 2009. They unfortunately were only able to remove 50% of the tumor due to it's location in the left temporal lobe of her brain and the fact that the tumor had wrapped itself around the left middle cerebral artery to her brain. Kate experienced right sided paralysis immediately following surgery along with the loss of her speech."

After waiting for the pathology reports, her parents learned that Kate was diagnosed with a very malignant, aggressive brain tumor called a supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor or sPNET.

In January, 2010, Kate finished her 5th round of Chemo.

And then, the family was off to Houston to do radiation on little Kate's brain.

Then in May 2010, a PET Scan showed NO signs of cancer in her brain.

It seems that all of the prayers for little Kate were being answered.

Kate, after much physical therapy, returned to start school. Her Mommy held her breath, continuing to pray that this Monster was beaten.

Kate had a scan done on February 1st.

There are new spots on Kate's brain...and a new spot on the other side.

The Monster is back.

Damn it.

Kate's family is crushed.

Little Kate, in tears, asked her Daddy "Why, Daddy? Why hasn't Jesus healed me yet?"

Kate's Daddy only answer to that question was more tears.

Please, add little Kate and her family to your prayer lists. Ask for healing for this little one, for wisdom for her doctors as they try to figure out what path to take, for her family to feel God's love around them.

Here is a LINK to Kate's Caring Bridge Site. If you feel that you want to leave a message for Kate and her family, please do. I'm sure that they cherish each and every message and prayer that is left for them.

Please.

Please pray for sweet Kate.

Please.
