Prayer Request for Amelia

Please pray for Amelia and her family.  Amelia has been denied transplant (I think kidney transplant as her parents were meeting with nephrology department) by the transplant team at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia apparently because she is "mentally retarded".  This is heartbreaking.  Please pray for her doctors as well.  She has been diagnosed with Wolf Hirscchorn Syndrome.  You can read her story here.  This is unbelievable.  Thank you Daily Grace for posting it at your site.

UPDATE:  Here is the Lifenews article about this: 

Parents:  Mentally Disabled Daughter Denied Kidney Transplant

And I also put quotes around the term "mentally retarded" because that is the term that was used on Amelia's paperwork, according to the original heartbreaking post by her mom here.  Please continue to pray for Amelia, her family, and her doctors. 


Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
St. Joseph, pray for us.
St. Philomena, pray for us.
St. Jude, pray for us.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
