Carly Parker
Our friends, Scott and Miki Parker, who live 4 houses down from us are going through one horrible nightmare. Their 7 year old daughter Carly has a tumor behind her nasal cavity. They discovered this, this past Wednesday right before Thanksgiving and have been in Birmingham since Wednesday night. Yesterday she went into surgery for a biopsy and placement of a chemo access port. After many, many scans and tests they have determined that it has NOT spread to any other part of her body. That is a huge blessing!! As soon as a final "perminent stage" has been determined they will start intensive treatment with radiation and chemotherapy. Please pray, pray, pray, and check out her website by clicking on her name at the top of this entry.
This family means a lot to us and were one of the first people to help make Auburn really feel like home. Peyton and Carly became fast friends and have been playing everyday after school since the beginning of the school year. She is really missing her friend but is writing her messages and sending pictures to her everyday. She was able to visit the night before her surgery so she has not seen how sick she is going to be yet. Pray for strength for this little girl and for her parents.
This was taken Sunday night when we brought Peyton to visit.
