Please pray for this sweet little girl. She had been sick for
about a week. So her parents, suspecting pneumonia, took her to the ER (on Wednesday). In a mind-numbing series of events, they found out that she had a large tumor in her chest that was causing her lung to mostly collapse, and pushing her heart to the side. Yesterday (Friday), she underwent surgery to have the tumor biopsied, had an MRI and a CT scan and had several different IVs inserted in her hand and ankles. She is four years old and one of 11 children. Her family has a neat story (too long to tell here right now) and many of her siblings are adopted (two sibling groups).Obviously, her family (parents are Jeff and Katie) is trying to process all of this and make decisions. The doctors think it is a very fast growing tumor and has probably only been there for one to two months. It is now about football size. This morning Jillian was intubated. Last night, the plan was to start chemotherapy on Tuesday, if she is strong enough...
