Two bits of news today.

The first is a request for my 7-year old cousin from Canada who has been found to have AVM (Anteriovenous malformation).  It is a rare condition for kids her age to have, and as far as we know she has already undergone brain surgery due to an aneurysm.  I’m told that the surgery went well, however she is still being closely monitored and yesterday had a seizure due to fever.

I cannot imagine what her immediate family in Canada is going through, and so I ask in behalf of my entire family to please say a silent prayer for her speedy and full recovery.

The other bit of news I just received was that Sofia Ysabel has passed away.  She was 3.5 months old.  Although a part of me feels a little relief that she is not suffering anymore, and I’m told that she went peacefully in the arms of her parents, I am still deeply saddened.  No parent should have to suffer the loss of her child(ren).

So again if you would, kindly say a prayer for the eternal rest of her soul.
