Please pray for Baby Cadence

On November 24th, our baby niece Cadence, a 1 year old baby, was a victim of a terrible burn accident while she was vacationing with her parents in China. I was debating if I should share this with the public internet, but I think it'll be a good thing to read back on...

...when we all come out of this stronger.

This is the letter from my sister Lisa to her dear daughter:

Dear baby,

It's 4:30am and mommy is waiting beside you in the Burn unit of the ICU in Guangzhou. A horrible accident happened that left you with over 50% of your body heavily burnt. The doctor says that there is a chance that you won't survive this and you won't be safe until 72 hours from the accident. I told the doctor that you are a fighter and that I know you will make it. I know he's only trying to scare me so I won't blame him. I refuse to accept anything that coward says because I believe my baby is strong enough to survive. You've never even been sick even one day ever since you were born, I know you'll make it through. Mommy looked the doctor right in the eye and told him straight up that my baby will be okay. You're only 13 months and you've shown us that you always fight for what you want you and you never give up on anything - you definitely have my personality.

Baby, please prove mommy right. Please make it through, I love you so much I can't imagine life without you!
