Please pray for this sweet little girl. She is a friend of my cousin's daughter.On her first day of kindergarten, she passed out at school and was later diagnosed with severe pulmonary hypertension.
She is now in Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh, too sick for the heart-lung transplant she so desperately needs. She's been on a heart-lung bypass machine, but can not stay on it indefinitely as it will weaken the rest of her organs. They've done surgery where the doctors have put a small hole in her heart, to relieve the pressure, but so far, efforts to wean her from the machine have been unsuccessful.
This morning she is to have further surgery to implant a Novalung, which is something normally done on adults. The hope is to strengthen her for a heart-lung transplant.
At this point, her family is praying for a miracle. They have spoken to a Passionist priest who is officially petitioning a new candidate for beatification, Father Theodore Foley, for a miracle for Molly.
Molly's Caring Bridge site is here. Please stop by and offer a caring word to her family.
Also, there are many fund raisers going on for Molly's family. If you feel so moved, please choose a way to offer financial support.

Prayers are headed her way and to her family and friends as well. Isn't it interessting that very recently you posted about guardian angels and arch angels. Trust that she is surrounded by many.
oh my.. there was a similar story in our local newspaper this morning about a little guy who desperately needs a bone marrow to live. prays for her and her family!
Oh, absolutely, T!
It's so sad when little children are sick.
Storming heaven for this precious little girl and her family.
(Prayers also going up for that little boy, Michelle.)
Both the priests at my parish are Passionists, and our pastor spoke today in his homily about Fr. Foley.
I will certainly pray for Molly. May the Lord heal her and grant her and her family peace.
Evan
Thank you, Carol and Evan!
