Kate Mcrae

Well my blog today isn't something that will make you burst out in laughter but is something that I hope you will read and begin praying with me for this sweet, sweet girl.

Isn't she beautiful, her name is Kate Mcrae and she is almost 6 years old (just like my Ella). This little angel is battling cancer. She has a brain tumor that was discovered in June of last year. She has already been through, brain surgery, chemo and is currently undergoing proton radiation. Her tumor is so rare that at this point once she finshes the radiation the doctors are unsure of what to do next if the radiation does not kill the tumor.

I stumbled across her website about 3 months ago and just feel attached to this little girl, maybe it's because she is the same age as Ella and I just can not even begin to think of my baby girl going through this.

I follow her blog daily praying for a miracle. I do know that our God is the Great Physician and with him all things are possible. I hope that you will join in with me and pray for Kate and her sweet family.

Here is Kate's Story:

This site is dedicated to our beautiful and courageous daughter Kate who is currently battling against brain cancer.

June 29, 2009 has forever changed our family. The day continues to bring a torrent of emotions as we recall it, and yet we pray that one day we will recall it knowing it changed us but did not defeat us. It was a Monday where I, Kate's mom, was going to take our 3 kids Olivia 7, Kate 5 1/2, and Will 4 to the water park. A day of celebrating summer. Plans changed quickly as I noticed that a slight tremor in Kate's right hand over the past three days had notably worsened.

We made an appointment to her Pediatrician. Early evening we were headed to Phoenix Children's Hospital for a stat CT of Kate's head. I patiently filled our Kate's kindergarten application as we waited to be released after the CT. We however would not be released. Rather 3 people came out to tell me that our little Kate had a large mass on her brain. Our world stopped.


You can never prepare fully for a moment where one sentence changes everything. We were emergently admitted to PICU and began the battle for Kate's life.


There are no words possible to describe how difficult this journey has been. Our hearts saddened to a point we didn't know existed. And yet, we are fully prepared to walk this and fight with Kate every step of the way.

We believe strongly in the power of prayer. We know none of this has caught our God off guard. And He is fully capable of healing our daughter.

Love,
Holly & Aaron Mcrae
