I'm honestly trying so hard not to cry right now. I'm going to post this email I just got: We just got off the phone with Marshall and Lorrie Worthey who are on their way to Denver. Jacob has been taken to the ICU with fluid on his lungs and an enlarged heart. The hospital wants them to make an immediate decision whether or not to intubate him. They are saying the leukemia is winning and he is having repeated high fevers. Please pray for wisdom as they have to make this agonizing decision, and for God's supernatural peace. Latest from Marshall Worthey... Jacob is now on a DNR order (do not resuscitate). Best guess is he has 24-48 hours to live. Words fail here. Obviously HUGE prayers are needed for our dear friends and their family. God is still on His throne, and Jacob will be there to see Him soon. I actually have never met Jacob, but I would have liked to. I feel like I know him through emails with his siblings, through blog posts, through stories. I can't even imagine what they must be going through right now. I feel so helpless. What are you supposed to do? I wish there was something. Just keep praying. For Jacob, for his family, his friends. I'm attempting to write a poem in honor of Jacob right now. He's such an inspiration. But I don't even know where to start...I'm at a total loss for words at the moment.

About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
