Carli Slack

Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name. Let Your mercy, O LORD, be upon us, Just as we hope in You. (Psalms 33:20-22)

                                      Carli Nicole Slack

Carli was hospitalized at St.Joseph's Children's Hospital in Tampa, Florida since July 19, 2008 Carli was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on July 22, 2008.
          Carli has been recieving chemotherapy treatments and thanks to our God! she is today under remission (there are no more cancer cells in her blood). She has also been in two invasive (life threatening) surgeries.

         She is currently in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit under sedation and with an Endotracheal Tube to assist her breathing due to fluids in her lungs. She is also fighting infections, fungus and high fevers.
          We are asking that all our brothers and sisters in Christ and family to keep praying for Carli's complete healing.
                        Please pray for the following:
1) That God may give Carli the spiritual, physical and emotional strength needed to overcome this difficult time

2) Please pray for the lesions that have been found in Carli's brain and spine.

3) Please pray that God may drain out the fluids in her lungs, and abdomen

4)Please pray for no more infections, fungus and fevers.

5) May God strengthen her intestines so there will no longer be any dead tissues or holes.

6) Please pray that when she continues her chemo there will no longer be anymore complications.

7) Please pray for the financial status of the family.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS!!

Carli, We are praying for you! Our whole church here in Summerfield, Fl is praying! I know God still heals and performs miracles! Thank God for the good news so far! Kevin, don't pay any mind to the Sanbalats and Tobiahs (in the book of Nehemiah) who speak evil against your faith and praying. If it were their child it would be a different tune! I wish you could block all the negative commenters, and not even have to read them. Keep believing! Keep being strong!

I work for a small daily newspaper in Ohio and one of my primary jobs is updating the website. I came across your story from the Associated Press and put it up on our website with two photographs from your 18th birthday. I find the faith of your family very inspiring. Your father ponders God's purpose in this challenge, this valley your family must walk through. The purpose is to show the glory of God to others, that He is there in all situations and in all circumstances. My wife wonders why God left her grandmother here with us for so long, 96 years, before He finally called her home. The last few years were in a nursing home with failing health and deteriorating mind. I tell her it was to save me, to finish the work started by my grandmother who passed away a couple of years before. I heard Jesus speaking to me at the funeral. I did not respond immediately but after a personal crisis I realized I can do nothing without God, I am nothing, really, without Him. God uses all situations, including yours, to bring awareness to other of Him. It may be only one person but that is enough. We all must die sometime, and our time here is simply to learn and to grow with Christ and try to save as many as we can. God bless you, Carli, and your family.

Carli, I too have been very sick for 1/2 years. I know how difficult it is. Although my story does not compare to yours, God continues to heal me and I know that he will heal you too! I will pray for you and your amazing family every day. I hope to meet you one day as I live in Tampa too. In his name, Jackie

Carli... Everyone that knows me thinks im a party guy, i have tons of friends and folks would never think I cry. I have been reading about you and your fight and sitting here crying my eyes out for all the pain you have been through. Let me tell you something, God loves you and is going to heal you, its going to happen sooner than you think. The doctors wont be able to explain it. Our God is a healing God and while everything that happens may not make logical sense i believe in my heart God had me write this for a reason. That is what is on my heart and i just want you to know i prayed for you for a good 10 minutes straight (longest ive ever prayed and im 36 years old). Hang in there Carli, brighter days are ahead, you will be healed and all the thanks will go to our Lord Jesus Christ. In Jesus Name! AMEN!

I could not begin to put myself in your shoes. I lost my mother to breast cancer 5 years ago and that was difficult, I could not imagine going through anything like this with your child. I want you (Kevin) to try and not pay any attention to the people that have negative comments regarding your daughter's insurance and blood transfusions. You keep right on doing exactly what you are doing for Carli. I do not have a problem if my tax dollars go towards medicaid for your daughter's care, nor how much blood she uses. I have donated blood in the past and it is being used for the purpose it was intended for. For people like Carli that need it. I wish nothing but the best for Carli and your family. I will keep reading your updates and hope to read that a miracle has happened and Carli has a complete recovery. May God bless you all.

786 Dear Carli and family. I wish our Creators mercy and blessings upon you. I would like to share some info with you as I'm sure you're looking for other options. I have reason to believe that the same milk derived fluid that hospitals use to keep patients alive is also keeping your Carli sick by feeding this fungus and in fact is causing it to thrive. In fact her diet, as is the case with everyones, is the cause and should be the cure for her ailments. Holistic is the way to go. First off, I'd suggest the book "Healing with whole Foods". I think it can help you really understand how to help....nay...cure her condition and even enhance your own health. I'd really recommend it as one of your core references. Some info you could use right now- Candida is a fungus also and from an eastern medicine point of view, is fought in the same way as any other fungal, simply changing the diet to promote an environment where fungus doesnt grow. Though you might not find much home remedy info on mucor infection, candida info is alot more common. It will do the same thing. http://www.thecandidadiet.com/foodstoeat.htm. I also recommend a site that helped a friend of mine cure his own cancer and I'm hoping to be able to help my uncle cure his diabetes! Anyway I ramble... http://www.cancertutor.com/Other/Leukemia.html In fact looking at this site again after reading the newspaper this morning,I stumbled on this article that cancer-tutor brought to my attention which may raise an eyebrow with you. It forces you to subscribe to read the article but its free and I must say Im glad i stumbled across it for my own knowledges sake.

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2003/05/24/cancer-contagious.aspx You guys can beat this. With Gods will and of course your own will, you can control and cure your daughter. It requires you to question your own faith in the western medical system, which frankly is only good for acute physical injuries. For long term illness and body chemistry change, we have to look towards the east.( After God of course)

Just a thought since Carli is just now 18 years of age, please check into Special Wish Foundation an org. for children under the age of 21 in case Carli would like a wish. Make-A-Wish grants wishes tho' you must be under the age of 18 at the time of the referral. Maybe France or Hawaii? Something to look forward to, keep the faith.
