Eden's Condition

Kurt & Selena received the specific diagnosis for Eden this afternoon: Pre B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. It is one of the more common kinds, which is treatable. Eden will hopefully not have to be in the hospital for more than a week or eight days. She will come home but have to go back to the hospital for chemo a number of times in the next month.

First Post

Eden Levetzow, 21 months old, is being treated at the University of Iowa Hospital for leukemia. She was diagnosed, yesterday, Wednesday, January 14, 2009. Eden is a very special little girl who is loved by many people. Her parents, Kurt and Selena, have been thrust from their normal lives into an experience that no parent ever wants to have.

We are starting this blog so that Kurt and Selena can give regular updates, and be able to hear from all of you, as they begin this journey. Their pastor has said this will not be a sprint, but rather a marathon So many family and friends are praying, and it would be impossible for all of us to visit or call, and if we did, it would be overwhelming. We hope this tool will make it easier for everyone to stay in touch.

As well, there are many people who are now praying from every corner of the U.S. because Levetzow's friends have called "their" friends to pray for Eden, too. It will be a blessing for Kurt and Selena to read posts from all the prayer warriors, that they have never even met, who are bringing Eden before God's throne.

In John 14:27 it says, Peace I leave with you; MY peace I give you... Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." We need not fear the future, because God is already there!
