A Friend in Need

I'm posting this on Shelly's behalf:

For the past few weeks (and for the immediate future), Michelle has been tending to her best friend, who's health has quickly dropped from bad to worse. The aforementioned lump on the back of her friend's head grew in size and was the cause of frequent spasms. After taking her friend to the hospital, the news came that it was cancer. Chemo was the proposed answer, but because of the (then unknown) state of her kidneys, this only worsened her condition. In the end, the only viable option was to induce a coma. At the time I was contacted by Michelle, her friend had been placed on a respirator and a dialysis machine was set to clean her blood twenty four hours a day.

They say that cancer affects everybody and I fear this is only the beginning. Michelle was quickly joined by concerned families and friends, both far and near and at this point, she's entirely devoted to caring for her friend at the hospital and comforting the families and friends involved.

I hope the readers here will hope and pray for the safety of her friend, as well as all those affected by the malady.
