Would anyone be willing to send some cards to a sweet little girl?
My cousin's little girl is in the hospital.
Her name is Abby and she is only 5 years old.
Her parents took her in to their local ER yesterday afternoon after she was having dizzy spells, was off balance and throwing up.
After a few tests, the doctors discovered a tumor in her brain, and had her air lifted an hour away to Iowa City. Last night they did surgery to try removing some of the pressure, and after that they did an MRI. That MRI showed that there was yet another tumor located really close to her brain stem, and they are going to try to remove it either the end of this week or the beginning of next.

Abby has 2 brothers and 3 sisters, ages 1 to 13, who are all doing their best to stay strong for their sister.
If some Get Well soon, or Thinking of you cards could be sent to Abby, that would make her day. Prayers are also greatly appreciated as the family goes through this difficult time.
