They recently harvested bone marrow from Kortney. The next 6 weeks will be a VERY INTENSE time for her as she undergoes high levels of chemotherapy and isolation (to keep her as healthy as possible.) Please keep Kortney and her family in continued prayer. On the 14th, this Friday, they will do the bone marrow transplant and we need to pray that it works.
This mornings Facebook post by Kortney:
"I wouldn't ask if I wasn't desperate in need of it, pls keep me in your prayers this week. Friday is my transplant..... I am Scared, nervous, and whatever else. I was raised in a holy ghost filled church and I know GOD is capable of anything therefor I am Asking for your prayers....."

Call for Prayer
It has been a little while since we last updated this blog....I apologize for the delay. Today, we are coming to you with a prayer request regarding Kortney and her continued fight against this cancer.
Kortney had 4 days of intense chemotherapy last week and has about 6 days before the next round. Her Chemotherapy treatment consists of 4 days of two very powerful chemo drugs and then 10 days to rest before the next round. As a result of the chemotherapy, Kortney has lost her hair, has a fever, has sores in her mouth, is really weak, and is fighting depression. She needs prayer!! This regiment of chemo will either send her into remission or will leave her very weak and susceptible to all manner of illness.
On another note, we now know that none of Kortney's siblings are matches for the bone marrow transplant she will need soon. The family is asking that friends and relatives go to their local Blood Bank and be tested to see if they might be the match Kortney needs. Let the Blood Bank know that you are there to be tested as a donor for Kortney Williams. They will swab the inside of your cheek and let you know if your DNA is a match/compatible.
Please be praying for Kortney's healing and her state of mind, and that a donor will be found soon. Also continue to pray for her parents and siblings, financial blessings, and that God works miracles beyond our imagination.

New Update
Hello everyone, it has been a while since we last posted anything about Kortney's journey. Last we noted, Kortney had escaped her hospital confinement and was enjoying the hospitality of some of her family who lives near the hospital.
Glad to report that Kortney continues to do well and is responding to the treatments.
She said she is feeling better. Headaches are gone. Blood counts are good and doctor says that she is ready for round two. Which is a good thing...
So we continue to pray for her complete healing and for God to have his way in her life.
Thank you for your continued prayers and comments here on this blog. Kortney does read your comments and is touched by your love and prayers.
