Prayer Requests

I just got word late last night that my niece, Ziva, is in the hospital. She is just 10 1/2 months old. Over the past week or so Ziva has had a fever that alternates between being quite high and under normal temperature by several degrees. They took her in to the hospital and they decided to keep her there for observation, so she's been there for a couple of days. They are running a lot of blood tests and other tests, the latest being that they are supposed to take a bone marrow biopsy today because her bone marrow is not responding the way it should and producing enough white blood cells. At this point the doctors don't really know what it is, could be anything from a virus to cancer.
Naturally, her parents need prayers as they try to deal with this all, as do the doctors and many others involved.

I also got a prayer request for Jessica the other day again. She has been doing better, quite good for someone with her type of injury, but apparently she began running a high fever a couple of days ago and there is concern about infection.
