Prayers are requested by Liz Barden for her two year old niece Sakura who is scheduled on Thursday to have all of her fingertips amputated.  Sakura got the virus called Meningococcemia and the family thought that she was not going to make it.  Then they were told at a minimum she might have her arms/legs amputated.  She has lived and instead of complete amputation of arms and legs, she will have just her fingertips amputated which is bitter sweet compared to how things appeared just a few weeks ago.  She may have to have her toes amputated as well but doctors are holding off to see if some tissue comes back.  Please pray for a miracle for this little girl and that her health situation would turn around.  Pray also for Sakura's family during this difficult situation.
