Prayer Request

I am asking for prayer on behalf of my ten year old daughter, Katalina. She was diagnosed with a rare & terminal condition: Krabbe Leukodystrophy. No cure, no real treatment, especially for her. She was not a "candidate" for a stem cell transplant back in 2006 when she was properly diagnosed in 3 States. Specialists' predicted she would die by age 5. Her brain was already covered more than 90% by white matter-she is missing an enzyme, and without it, her brain produces toxic levels of white matter, hence destroying the CNS and other human abilities. Affected children stop walking, talking, they go blind and deaf. They become dependant on feeding & breathing tubes until they die. God has surely had HIS Hand on her, as she is still alive...PRAISING HIM, and doing pretty well considering, although she is not without daily challenges. Specifically, I am asking for prayer, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, against blindness & her going deaf! She has seen with her eyes TEN YEARS and for her world to suddenly go dark would be devastating! Her eyes are changing & our neurologist writes on a recent report that this could be due to her going blind. This is the gruesome reality of what Krabbe Leukodystrophy does to our affected children! Increased seizure activity, along with other evident changes, also reveal an indicator of death within the next few years. Katalina has shocked us all, and lived past the grim prognosis, and with very little affects of Krabbe itself. Another theory from medical science is that Katalina has a 2nd (that's right, a 2nd) rare condition/diagnosis, also with no cure, that may be altering the course (somehow) of the first diagnosis: the Krabbe! Please pray with me, In JESUS NAME, against blindness and her going deaf!!!! Should she leave this Earth prematurely one day, I pray it is still with SIGHT (IN JESUS NAME) and still with HEARING (IN JESUS NAME) and still with the BEAUTIFUL smile on her precious face that Krabbe, or Mitochondrial, has not taken from her! I BELIEVE 100% that if God WILLS her here, she stays! I also BELIEVE that God can restore & completely HEAL her sight, her hearing, her bent legs, and her crooked back (severe scoliosis). Wont you believe with me? THANK YOU & AMEN!!!! Also, please see her Facebook (non-profitable) support group: "KATALINA'S KAUSE: Just One More Day." "And so, my soul cries out to HIM, please Lord, just one more day with her." She is a TRUE GIFT to my life and I am GRATEFUL for her! Thank YOU LORD! & Thank you prayer warriors!!!! Cassandra (Mom) & Katalina (my Earth Angel).
