prayers for sydney

my niece sydney, 5 years old, told my mom a couple of days ago..."grammy, i see 2 of you." so, my sister, cynthia, thinking sydney may have to wear glasses or some sort, took her to the doctor yesterday (also to get a re-check for strep!) and they told her that her right eye was lazy and referred her to an eye doctor. thank goodness the eye doctor had an opening TODAY! the eye doctor said her eyes looked good, except something was pressing on a nerve in her eye.....immediately called her pediatrician, set up MRI, CT-scan, etc, etc. so, after talking with the radiologist at huntsville hospital's women's and children's, there is a mass behind her eye; something aggressive. they are headed to birmingham tomorrow to see a specialist at children's hospital.

i know the power of prayer; i have proof of my own son. our God is a great God. so powerful. so, please remember the newton family in your prayers; especially sydney. we love that little girl like she is our own daughter and we want nothing but the best for her and her family.
