Letter from Linda Shi (Family Friend) - March 23, 2007

Dear friends of Charley,

My children and I were blessed to spend an afternoon with the Cherng family on Friday (3/23).

Charley is brave. He is tired these days and doesn’t have much of an appetite. Pray for his nausea to subside and ability to drink some fresh juices or soup. They are also deciding whether to place a feeding tube or try Ritalin to stimulate appetite. They need God’s guidance for these nutritional decisions. Charley has been waking with nightmares. Pray for Jesus’ peace and the Holy Spirit’s presence to heal any fears or whatever is causing the bad dreams. Make-a-Wish has offered to give Charley a dream trip to Disneyworld. Would you ask God to direct when and if this trip should take place.

Charley will go to a prayer/healing service this Tuesday. We ask that God would hear our intercessions for Charley as well as for Deborah and Nehemiah.

Would you join me in praying that the Lord would grant Deborah and Nehemiah physical strength. Pray for rest (as they sleep on couches in the hospital room with Charley), provision of good meals. Of equal import is to pray for their emotional and spiritual strength and dependence on God. As they ask God the tough questions, I pray His answer would come through the love of the saints. “Christ has no hands but ours.”

Treatment options for Charley also need to be covered in prayer. The medical team has outlined 3 alternatives. An intensive, investigational, protocol combining 3 chemotherapy drugs, a middle ground chemotherapy treatment or comfort measures. The doctor asked some good questions for Deborah and Nehemiah to consider. Ask that God would make clear to them His will for treatment.

At the center of all our hearts is a precious six year old who loves legos and sweet egg custard tarts. He has come to know the love of the Father and the security and love of two devoted parents. May God carry this family and may we persevere to uphold them in prayer.

-Linda

Linda,

Thank you for your prayer requests. Deborah and Nehemiah are such special people and we need to remember to pray for their continued strength as we pray for Charley.
