Lillian's oncologist dropped by on Monday and said something that has really stuck with me. The pastor at her church told the congregation on Sunday that this is a week of miracles. He asked them to pick 2 or 3 miracles and pray that they would happen this week. She picked Lillian as her #1, 2 and 3 miracle.
We often don't "pray big" and ask for miracles because we're scared to hope or are worried about being disappointed. After all, we don't know what God's plan is. But if this is the week of miracles, I am acting in faith and praying big.
Lillian spiked a fever last night and it's currently not responding to Tylenol. (Yep, even in Intensive Care, Tylenol is the best for a fever.) Her lungs are very sick and her liver is sluggish as well. The doctors have been stumped by Lillian's strange, prolonged illness for weeks. I pray that Lillian would have a miraculous recovery. That her lungs would have no long term damage, that her fever would disappear as suddenly as it appeared and that she would be like a new kid. I pray that this recovery would be so sudden that there would be no other explanation than God's mighty intervention!
I don't know what God's plan is for Lillian. But I'm praying big that He would deliver an Easter miracle for us. Join us in this mighty prayer, won't you?

Lori, Jeff and Lillian,
We are praying big, daily, if not hour by hour. There isn't a time when we don't think of all you are going through and hoping the next post will bring word of Lillian's improvement. The faith, strength and love that your family has shown during this time is inspiring. Here is to big prayers. With love, Abra and Chip
Lori
I feel brave enough to join you in praying for an Easter Miracle for Lillian. I just sent in a prayer request to the prayer line at my church and asked them to do the same. My sister in Hawaii, who knows Lillian's Nana is praying too. Hoping and praying, Liz G.

I do believe this is the week of miracles and my 3 miracle requests will be for Lilly's recovery. Stay strong. Jean M.

Dear Lori, Jeff and Lillian:
As I type this, Kevin and the boys are praying for Lillian's miraculous recovery. I've also forwarded your entry to the whole staff and have asked them to do the same. I am so awed by your strength and sense of humor during this time. We are praying with you for an Easter miracle.
Love,

Lori, Jeff and Lillian,
Our family has you in our prayers everynight. We will be praying that God sends Lillian an Easter Miracle. Brandy, Garrett and family (from Tucson)
Lori, Jeff and Lillian,
There are no words that can convey my feelings for your family in your time of deepest need. While sadness and fear are present, they are far surpassed by hope. I will continue holding hope that you will be together as a family for many years to come and that the joy that Lillian has brought to everyone who has ever spent time with her will be ever-present in our lives. I believe in the power of hope in the most dire times and I believe in Lillian.
Love, Cousin Sara
Lillian was a bright shinning star with a smile that could melt any heart! She touched so many people during her short time with us. Deepest sympathy to you both. You will continue to be in our prayers during this difficult time. Although we will GREATLY miss her here know that she is in heaven now dancing with God! Take comfort in knowing that you will be reunited with her in heaven someday. Your strength and faith have been amazing to watch during this journey and I pray that they continue to carry you during this time. I am just a phone call away if you need anything. Constantly in our prayers.
Love, Beth, Scott & Family
You are all in my prayers in this very difficult time. I pray that God holds you in his arms, comforts you and gives you all the strength to continue on. And I also pray that all of us with healthy children will never take that for granted - that we will appreciate all the precious days we have been given with our kids. I'm giving my kids extra hugs today in honor of Lillian. May God's love and peace surround you.

I am so sorry for your loss, but at the same time happy. Your little angel is no longer in pain and she will be and is already the strong little girl who you once knew. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
With love,
Danielle
