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!

Back ...

Well, Leanne is back in the hospital.

As you know, we asked for prayers recently because Leanne has not been feeling the best. She was given fluid this week to help with dehydration from the sweating and fevers she has been experiencing. Today, she was taken to the ER for quick admittance to the hospital because she was still feeling horrible. She had low blood sugar, low blood pressure, and a high heart rate. She has now been admitted to the ICU and is being given lots of fluids, antibiotics, and steroids. They are going to get her levels stabilized again and then do a scan of her abdomen.

A few weeks ago I prayed that Leanne's journey would be something that would radically grow the prayer life of many TEAM CHIN members. I am sure that God is doing big things!!! Please pray specifically for:

  • Complete relief from all fevers, sweating, and dehydration for Leanne
  • Extreme clarity for Dr. Bloom and each doctor and nurse that comes into contact with Leanne this hospital stay to know exactly what steps to take in treating Leanne
  • Dr's to find out exactly what is going on with Leanne
  • Stability in Leanne's levels
  • Strength and energy to return to Leanne
  • Strength for Ryan
  • Unexplainable peace for Leanne, Ryan, and their families (Philippians 4:6-7)

I will be praying for your every move. God is good, he will provide and that women today who's spirits never failed, but had a LONG journey is now cancer free for the second time. Stay positive and never ever give up..

I am not a praying person, and i have a hard time offering prayers in times like these because it feels a little dishonest on my end. That is my own shortcoming.

But, I am a HUGE believer in the interconnectedness of things and the power of positive thought and love (which may be a prayer of sorts, I don't know). I am sending an incredible amount of love to you at this moment. Though I am a stranger to you (a friend also reposted your page on fb), please know there is so much love and thought surrounding you all as one person sees her journey on earth come to an end and another begin. I know it's not much, but I hope it brings a little bit of light to an altogether dark situation. Love to you and yours.
