On Tuesday October 11, 2011 Leanne (Chin) was diagnosed with breast cancer. This blog will follow her journey. It will share the peaks and valleys along the way. But it will also serve as a way to communicate prayer requests and praises. Join us as we partner with Chin and fight along side her for she "...can do all things through Christ who strengthens her." Phil. 4:13

The meaning behind Chin ... There is a Chinese restaurant in the Twin Cities named Leann Chin. While Leanne was attending a basketball camp in middle school, a fellow camper had a bag from the restaurant. This camper made the connection between the name of the restaurant and Leanne's name. And the nickname Chin stuck!

hospital stay

On Sunday Leanne began feeling a little under the weather. By early Monday evening, she was feeling ill enough to warrant a call to the doctor and a visit to the ER. She had a high fever, an achy body, and lots of drainage in her throat. Once her oncologist was called regarding her condition, she was admitted so they could try to find the cause of her fever. She was admitted on the oncology floor and had a sweet room! Look at all this space :)


Fran spent the night with Leanne. Here she is hooked up to her IV.


Thankfully, they found the source of her infection! The good bacteria in her stomach was destroyed during chemo which led to an infection. She is in isolation in the hospital and will get to have Ryan spend the night tonight (Tuesday)!!! So thankful they will get to spend time together.

Please pray for:
  • Health for Leanne; for the infection to go away completely
  • Continued growth for Leo
  • For Leanne to find peace in God's plan 
  • Leanne to rely on God's truth and not be tempted to have a spirit of fear
