looking for light

On 1/1/10 one of our baby twin granddaughters became very ill. She was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia within 3 hours of arrival at the hospital.
Our family are in shock but we are coping with all we need to face as best we can. I think how fast she went from appearing as a healthy baby to one in severe danger is what we are finding the most difficult.
Emily has a very long battle to face, which hardly seems right for an innocent infant, but that is the lot she has been given.
I have had no inclination to post on here the past 6 days as I’m sure you will understand my reasons for abstaining.
The family is foremost on my mind so therefore postings will be only as time allows.
Yesterday 5/1/10 we celebrated the twins 1st birthday in Oncology Ward at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Brisbane & with the help of the amazing staff we were able to give our girls the most important thing we can give….love & support
Good luck with the rest of the month & please understand I will not be able to return comments at this time

Dear Laine, what a terrible message. The family must be devasted. I know my husband and I would be when something like that would happen to one of our grandchildren. But than again: there is still hope, isn't there?
I am not religious. If I were I would probably pray for Emmily.
But my thoughts are wish her and with you. Wish you all the strength in the world.
Carl and Racine Erland07-Jan-2010 11:24

Mieke WA Minkjan07-Jan-2010 07:19

Cindi Smith06-Jan-2010 21:58
Oh, Laine! Your grandaughter is in my prayers. She must be so scared as well as all of you. I would take that away from her and go through it again if I could. No child should have to suffer from cancer and all that goes with it. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. Right now, prayers are going up for little Emily! My heart is breaking as I write this. Don't worry about us, take care of you and your family and know we are all here if you need us! Wishing you much love and a miracle for Emily!
