A while back I posted about our friend, Savannah, who is fighting an aggressive form of soft tissue cancer. Our whole community has become decorated in green bows. Lime green is Savannah's favorite color. We have them everywhere-- mailboxes, stop signs, trees, on the front of school buses and throughout the Elementary School where she is a student! There has been an incredible show of support in this community for this sweet girl. Tomorrow is her 11th birthday. Since she was diagnosed at 5, she has been battling this disease for more than 1/2 of her life. Unfortunately, her tumors are no longer responsive to treatment and have grown and spread extensively--into her bones as well as her lungs and she has been started on hospice care to help with her pain control.
We spent the evening making cards, bows to wear on our shirts, and blowing up balloons for our sweet friend. We plan on dropping our gift off in the morning to let her know we are thinking of her on her birthday and we pray for her every day!
We love you, Savannah!
