My prayers go out to this little girl and her family

Last night I went to a candlelight vigil for Faith and a little boy named Ethan Jostad.

These kids didn’t even know each other until last year when they met at Relay for Life here in Medford Oregon. Ethan had been diagnosed with his cancer in 2008, and of course, Faith last year in April.

Then this year, both were at Relay again, but as friends going through a battle. Faith had just had lung surgery as the cancer had metastized to her left and right lungs. Ethan had been clear of cancer at his last check up in April. But, the day after Relay, Ethan started having pains in his side and was rushed back to NYC to be checked out.

It wasn’t good, the cancer, very aggressive, had been found throughout his little body. A few weeks ago, the doctors sent him home with no medical hope.

A week ago, Faith was flown to Doernbecher’s hospital in Portland Oregon because she couldn’t breathe. Her cancer had returned to her left lung and the tumor has been pressing on her trachia. She also has a soft tissue cancer in her jaw. The only thing the doctors can do now is to radiate the area of the jaw to relieve her pain. They also removed more fluid around her lung.

While she was up there, Ethan was sent there too, and is just across the hall from Faith. Faith’s mommy calls that a “sick irony”.

Faith will be coming back to her home for hospice care on Friday, but as my sister said, “Don’t give up 5 minutes before the miracle”, so we ask for more prayer for these special kids, Warrior Princess Faith and Warrior Prince Ethan.

I am thanking you all now in advance, because who couldn’t put them in your thoughts and prayers now? I couldn’t.

Faith’s aunt, Nancy

Just to let you all know, Faith and her mommy and daddy will be on KDRV TV tonight, July 5, for an interview about living with cancer. Full story at 6:00, spot story at 5:00.

This is Faith’a Grammy, Jan Pearson. We all thank everyone for their vigilance, their praryers, emotional and financial support for our family. Without you, we would not be able to cope during this time of concern for Faith’s safety.

Thank you, Dr. Conrad, for your timely operation to save Faith’s lower arm. Words aren’t enough to express our gratitude.

Thank you so much Fadi. I read this after we got the news that there maybe cancer in the bone above the elbow. Was pretty devastated but was lifted when I read your comment. I do believe that our prayers will be answered. Thank you

Hey Annie, don’t worry, God said that with faith you can move mountains, in fact he said also that when asking for something believe that you will be answered and you will be answered.

Annie, don’t worry just believe
Annie, don’t worry you are not alone

One more thing, keep smiling because Faith will get well

Hi Annie – heard about Faith from Jerry and sent a small donation. I am sending up huge prayers for her recovery though. I have a seven-year old granddaughter as well, so I can imagine how devastating this must be.
