Update on Annie...

Again, the information below is from Mary Ellen's Blog (thank you!) :

PET scan showed stage 4 neuroblastoma that has metastasized into the bone. Tomorrow they will install a port to start chemotherapy and also biopsy a mass in her stomach. They will get more detailed test results in the next couple of days.

Just to be clear from something I had said in an earlier post, she does NOT have cancer in her brain (the grey matter) but it is in her skull (the bones). Cancer terminology can be misleading and hard to understand. It is not just in her skull, but in other bones as well, but I wanted to make that clear as there is a difference between having it in your brain and having it in your skull.

Rachel (Survance) and Kristen Ehr will be traveling all day tomorrow from the Carolina's, they will be staying in the Thompsons home to care for the other three girls in their own home starting on Saturday - please pray for them as they travel.

Please continue to hold the entire family up in your prayers and please give to the fund to help them with expenses if you can.

Hobe Sound Bible Church has set up a fund for the Thompson family so donations can be made and receipted for this urgent need.

While they do have insurance there are always many added expenses (food, lodging, gas, etc.) during a time like this.

Checks can be made payable to Hobe Sound Bible Church with "Thompson" on the memo line and mailed to:

Hobe Sound Bible Church
PO Box 1065
Hobe Sound, FL 33475

Cards can also be mailed to the same address under Bart & Julie's name. Above all, please continue to pray for this family
