Urgent prayer request

I would normally not do this, but time is of the essence. Charlotte is fine. But there is a little girl here who we spent much time with during Charlotte's first transplant, Chloe, who is on life support in the PICU here at Duke. I just learned of this today and apparently her medical team is running out of options to save her. I do not know the details only she became very sick very suddenly after her transplant and is experiencing internal bleeding that is not resolving. Please pause for a moment to send prayers up for Chloe, asking God to help surround her (and her grandparents who are raising her) with comfort and love. Pray that God helps Chloe move through this so she can move forward in her healing. She is just three years old. She looks just like Charlotte and has a fiesty spirit to match. Although the children in this unit are to keep their space from each other during transplant, when little ones their age see each other, gravity takes over and they are pulled towards each other. Tricycle racing happens, common arts and crafts in the playroom occur, and they become a source of comfort to each other in some way. Seeing another little girl who looks like her and feels like her in this place, well I can only hope Charlotte brought that kind of comfort to Chloe, just like Chloe (and another little boy Austin) has brought to Charlotte.

Please God, please hear our prayers. Perhaps our amazing village can do amazing things for this little girl. Perhaps our collective prayers are a gift we can give this family. Thank you for taking this time to pause, and send Chloe up in prayer.

To put a face to your prayers, this is Chloe last month decorating Halloween cupcakes with Charlotte.
