Prayers for Jenna

Today we are once again asking for prayers for our sweet little friend, Jenna Waters. Four year old, Jenna was diagnosed with Hepatoblastoma Stage IV cancer on January 16. Tomorrow she will be having surgery to remove the remaining portion of the tumor on her liver that remains after several rounds of chemo. Her parents posted a list of prayer request and I want to share that with all of you that are not in the Washington area so that you may pray specifically for their needs.

-Her surgeons are happy, healthy, rested, knowledgeable and that God guides their hands gently for Jenna.
-That the 1/4 of the liver they are leaving is healthy and cancer free. They will then be able to continue with the surgery
-Portal vein is working as it should be by pumping adequate blood supply to Jenna's liver. They will then not need to mess with fixing it.
-They can get all of the tumor
-She will comfortable during surgery
-Jenna is as comfortable as she can be after surgery and for her to have a speedy recovery
-Give us peace that that the surgery will go smooth

Here is a picture of Eden and Jenna at relay for Life last weekend.

  1. Hi Guys! The picture of Jenna and Eden just breaks my heart. It's so awesome how much strength and courage God is giving all of you through this very tough trial! Eden is definitely in my prayers! I will be in Iowa City again tomorrow with a resident. I'm there once or twice a month...always on a Wed. Remember to look up & keep your eyes on the SON! ~Diana
