Prayer Needed ASAP!!!!

This was the email I came home to tonight........

***Edited to add newest email:
Hi Ladies-

Laura just called me and asked me to fill you all in...

The cancer has spread through her body up to her neck. She does have stage 4 cancer. They have decided not to operate because of the quick spread. She will meet with the oncologist on Tuesday to decide when to start chemo.

Laura is obviously overwhelmed and wants prayer. Please do not call at this time because it is hard to juggle the amount of phone calls and she is trying to protect the children from as much as possible. She greatly appreciates all the prayers and does believe that God can do a mighty miracle!

Thanks so much for all of your prayers for Laura, John, Sarah, Jack and little Kate!

First email-
Just got a call from Stacy Ormond. She went with Laura to the

The Laura in this message is an amazing Godly woman and mom to three young children (her oldest just finished 1st grade) and one of my co-leaders from MOPS last year. Also, her husband was laid off from his job in May, I'm not sure if he's working again yet, I know he had several interviews earlier this month.

PLEASE PRAY!!!! Also, any links to this would be appreciated. This one just brought tears to my eyes.
