STORM THE GATES!!!

Please join me in storming the gates of Heaven with prayers for Bella-Bean. There are a few specific items that could use our prayer attention:

1. Bella's first ERT (enzyme replacement therapy) is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Please pray for its success, and for no adverse reactions to the treatment. Successful ERT can halt the damage to Bella's organs and bones.

2. Bella's parents are petitioning their insurance company to allow them to have her transplant done at the UM hospital, which is not officially covered in their plan. The hospital that is covered has very little experience with Hurler's, while the UM has tons, and its doctor studied at Duke, where most of the breakthroughs in Hurlers treatment were made. Please pray that the the insurance company accepts the pettition.

3. Please pray for healing and restoration in the relationships between Bella's parents and some of their family members. This is a time when they will need their family more than ever, and with tensions high, and nerves on edge, there has sadly been some damage to some of those relationships.
