why?

i've spoken of my friend mel and her son, sergio, and the struggles he's going thru right now.  he's the same age as my nephew, anthony.  and he's the neatest kid, always thinking of others, how he can help them, etc.  and he needs all the prayers we can give right now. 

i don't understand why things like this happen to kids.  i don't understand why a perfect bone marrow donor was found, and sergio's recovery was going SO WELL, and suddenly he gets a virus & is now back in the hospital and needing a machine to help him breathe, on so many medications - medications to help things and then medications to counteract the side effects of those medications.  constant pokings and lines and sedation so he isn't scared by all the lines and things.  and this is a boy who's been through a LOT the past year.  why does he (and his family) have to continue to go through so much?? 

i don't have to understand, to believe that God is using this for His glory, but it would sure be nice if there could be a miracle toward that purpose, soon. 

*sigh*  today was a day of a lot of happy things for me, but sergio, mel, shawn, and mckenzey are on my mind and in my prayers and i want them to be happy, too.  healed, and happy.
