An "outside" Prayer Request - Noah McKenney

With the miracles that we have seen with Rebekah and all of your prayer, we get lots of requests for prayer for other matters. All of them go into our personal prayer requests. We wish we could re-print all of them here on Rebekah's blog but there just isn't space and that isn't exactly what this blog is about. That said, other sick children do especially touch our hearts and every now and then we may tell you about someone we come across. Here is a recent request:

...another leader and I and three teens had the opportunity to visit CHOP (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia) to see baby Noah McKenney. He is the youngest son of a pastor at The Chapel in Ohio. Todd and Bethany McKenney have been living at the Ronald McDonald House for a month along with their other two kids (Selah---5 and Nathan---3) as Noah is in the intensive care unit at CHOP. He was born with spina bifada and then had a cancerous brain tumor which was removed at CHOP. He then started chemo and has not got past the first round since he is now on a ventilator and has problems with keeping his blood pressure stable and kidney functions working normally. He has nearly died a couple of times. On Friday morning, he looked like a sleeping (drug induced sleep) angel with many, many tubes in him. We all prayed together. McKenneys were just glad to see someone they knew from OH. They do not do a blog as far as I know and depend on word of mouth and e-mails to Chapel staff to get the word out for prayer.
