Pray for Joseph

A recent picture of Joseph NuwayhidDuring Joseph's current round of intensive chemotherapy, his blood counts are higher than above normal. His blood counts should be dropping rather than rising. So, this has drawn a concern and has caused the Drs to scratch their heads as to why.

The Drs said that "Joseph's body is fighting something but we don't know what." The Dr.'s are going to stop the chemo for a week and re-evaluate. This could indicate a relapse but then again it may not. We just don't know. So, we are sending out this plea for prayer for God to again sustain and heal Joseph. Please pray with us:

  1. That there would be no cancer relapse.
  2. That God would correct this blood count anomaly and heal whatever is going on in Joseph's body.
  3. That God would continue to sustain Joseph.
  4. That God would enable the chemotherapy to work in eradicating the cancer from his body.
  5. That God would grant Joseph and all of us endurance and strength in this current situation.
  6. A special birthday for Joseph - He turns 5 years old on Saturday, August 2nd, 2008.

Again, we are grateful to God that you are crying out to Him on our behalf. We know He hears and answers the prayers of His people.

. . .so it may be said, "Look how much the Lord has had mercy on His people!"

In loving gratitude,

Omar & Mervat Nuwayhid; Jeremy, Jonathan, Jason and Joseph
