EMERGENCY PRAYER REQUEST

Prayers needed for Michael Novenche, and his parents. I
don’t have a large forwarding list but I’m hoping that some
of you do. Everyone with large mailing list, please forward
what I am writing to you now to ask for your help. I do not
really know how to start a prayer chain, but we need a
miracle.

Michael Novenche is a 2½-year-old beautiful little boy in
Clifton Park, New York, and the grandson of a very dear
friend of mine. A few months ago, he started throwing up
and telling Mommy “boo boo in my head.” He was brought
to the doctors and tests were ran on him, later that week he
started losing feeling in the left side of his poor little body.
They found a large tumor in his brain. He was brought to a
hospital in Boston where doctors told his family the tumor
was too big and it was too risky to operate on it.

His aunts and uncle would not give up, they called Beth
Israel, then e-mailed Dr. Epstein for him to look at
Michael’s films. Michael’s uncle then drove the films to
New York City himself for Dr. Epstein to look at. Dr.
Epstein operated but couldn’t remove the entire tumor and
now he has to go through chemo to keep the tumor from
growing and hitting the brain stem.

We need all the prayers we can get for the chemo to kill the
tumor entirely. As I write this, he started chemotherapy on
March 28, 2000 and we are hoping desperately that it works.
We need all the prayers we can get. Please stop and say one
prayer for this beautiful baby boy Michael when you read
this letter.

This little baby boy needs all the prayers he can get for the
chemo to work, so he can start living the life of a little boy.
He has been put through more tests and has been poked with
more needles than most of us could ever even imagine. He
is tired of all this and does not understand, please pray for
this beautiful little boy. He just wants to play and be with
his family, not to be rushed from one doctor to another and
to be away from his loving family.

I am asking for your prayers on his behalf. Please pray for
his healing and for strength and comfort for his family. He
is only 2½ years old. Think of a 2½-year-old in your life
and imagine that life being cut short. You can only imagine
a fraction of the pain and fear his parents are facing. They
need a miracle of God’s healing so that they can watch their
precious baby boy grow up.

I am asking you to send this letter, or copies of it, to
everybody you can think of that will pray for Michael.
Please also take his name to your church and church groups
and ask others to pray for his healing. Many thanks and
may God bless each one of you who care enough to pray for
a little boy’s life.

I am asking that each and every one of you please forward
this on to everyone that you know. Just think if this was
your little child going through this right now. We all know
that God can heal this little angel, it’s His will. Please take
time to do this right now.

Thank you from family and friends of Michael Novenche,
but most of all Michael.
