Many of you checked in on my friend Denise when she went to pick up Lily Sha Sha in Changsha only 8 weeks ago.  Her older daughter and Jie Jie, Hannah is in the hospital.  My understanding is that yesterday she had an emergency bone marrow transplant.  Hannah is 6 years old and in first grade.  She has been diagnosed with an Aplastic Anemia a rare and acute form of anemia that presented itself very quickly over their Thanksgiving holiday.  You can read more on Denise's blog which her sister is updating...

I am posting here to ask for your prayers for Hannah and her family.  Please also pray specifically for Lily who is with Denise's Mom.  Many of you remember when Jeff was sick the summer after we came home from China.  It was a very difficult transition for Ruby because I was gone so much.  Hopefully, Lily will stay on her schedule, and she will do great in her Grandma's care!  

They are asking for cards to wallpaper Hannah's room at the hospital.  She can't have visitors, and as you all know it is pretty sterile in there.  So, this is a call out to your kids to get out their glitter and glue and send a little Christmas cheer to Miss Hannah!  The address for cards goes to:

Rancho Cucamunga, CA 91729-4257

Thank you!
