My younger cousin, who will be starting high school this year, has had health problems since she was born. She's a slow learner who's had to wear hearing aids since elementary school, and she has also had kidney problems since she was a baby. Soon after she was born, we almost lost her.
Her kidneys have been relatively stable for quite a while, but recently she has been having problems with her good kidney. I don't know the details, but it sounds serious, judging from the phone calls I've overheard and the expressions I've seen. It's hard to get dependable information, since her Mom is having a hard time dealing with this and generally has a hard time understanding things in general.
It's been a long time since she's had any real health problems, and I'm kind of scared. Please keep her in your prayers.

I'll be thinking about and praying for her. I'm sure that would be scary.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I'll be praying too. It reminds me of my cousin up in wisconsin who was also born with many many health problems. It's sometimes scary not knowing what may lay ahead, especially for such a young girl.
I'll pray for both her health and the strength to overcome these difficult times. I hope things get better for her.
