The reason why EPW is MIA…

It’s impossible to know EPW without hearing something about her 5-year-old daughter Grace, who through her posts, pictures and cameo appearances in videos, we have all come to know and love.

Gracie in hospital

Yesterday, the lovely and most effervescent Miss Gracie PW was diagnosed with what doctors suspect is a juvenile pylocytic astrocytoma level 1 tumor in her cerebellum (for the technical details on diagnosis and treatment).

Today the 3cm tumor will be removed in a 6-hour surgery after which pathologists will examine the tumor to determine the course of treatment that follows.

As you can imagine this is devastating for both Elizabeth and Mark who both love her dearly and we’re asking people to send their prayers, wishes and healing energy to the little girl who has charmed us all with her joie de vivre and astute observations about life.

Please leave your prayers and wishes for Gracie in the comments below

Status update: Gracie is out of surgery and in recovery. It will be about an hour before she returns to her room to be with her parents and 3 or 4 hours before she wakes up.

The report from the surgeon is that she did great and the tumor came out fine and is consistent with his original thinking that it was a juvenile pylocytic astrocytoma (to be confirmed by pathology).

Elizabeth and Mark are grateful for all the comments and wishes and are deeply touched by the outpouring of love for their daughter.

Thank you all for keeping Gracie in your thoughts and prayers!

    Jesus did more healing than just about anything else while on earth, and he still heals today. I pray that His hand guides the surgeons and the assistants. May the Holy Spirit bring peace to Elizabeth and Mark, and also to her friends around the world. We love you EPW and Gracie, be well again.

I'm sure her Daddy is too.

    When stuff gets hard (especially for kids), I like to look to their name for direction. Every possible definition of Grace conjures images of strength, charm, charisma, seemliness, holiness and goodness.

    I know that Elizabeth and Mark are dealing the best they know how, but here's what else I know:

    * Gracie is a little firecracker that has a lot to teach all of us yet. Her parents have brought us a little piece of heaven, and we're all blessed to be connected to it in some small way.

    * Gracie is tough. Probably tougher than all us grown ups. There's a lesson there, too, I'm sure.

    * You are all loved, and every possible good gift is being sent your way through prayer, meditation, and the thoughts of those that are connected to you.

    Keep us posted as you are able, know that we're here for you, and LOVE that little girl for all of us!

  • Carol Giambri

    As a strong believer in miracles and healing so for Gracie –its here! Elizabeth and family stay strong as possible speaking life over this gorgeous angel. Sometimes things don't look possible, but I know they are. I am living proof of a miracle recently, unheard of, but my mustard seed faith kept me strong to see the “victory”.

    Im an optimist. I believe the karma you create, the communities you embrace, the love you hold for your family are all wonderful positive indicators of the way this scary problem gets resolved for you.
    You will both be back stronger, renewed in your love and your purpose and to become even more of an inspiration than you have already been in the past.
    Id be honored to help but in reality all the best in you is already there to bring your family through this. I know how scary this must be, you'll triumph anyway and well all share your relief and joy.

    Not letting up on the positive thoughts. Giving Gracie of soft kiss on the forehead. :)

    You will all get through this and through it in record time, I'm sure.

    My prayers are with Gracie. I know how tough it must be for you, but it's that much tougher for Gracie. She looks like a tough cookie and ready for life to get back to normal.

    I wish the best for you and your family.

    Oh my God, I had lost track of the posts and now I am crying, sweet little Gracie and her effervescent mom, what an experience to take on with this health challenge. I am printing this adorable pic of Grace to put on my Reiki healing wall, I look at these photos many times a day and send Reiki to heal however it is possible.

    I appreciate your sharing the update, Carla!

    Having missed any tweets or FB updates about this, I've only just seen this post, courtesy of the EPW weekly newsletter so firstly, thanks to Allison, BFF, for send out the email.

    Elizabeth, I've come to love the occasional tweet I see from you (that 9hour time difference means that I miss the full force of your personality) so I wish you, Gracie and Mark ALL the love and strength you need to make it though this tough period. I'm sending all my positive South African energy your way!

  • Maartje

    Ow Gracie, you're not having it easy with all the hospital visits! Thinking of you & I know you're going to come through beautifully.

    All the love & support for Mark & EPW in this difficult time, and here's to a speedy recovery.

  • Lisa Hines

    After taking a mini-vacation from the computer myself, I just read this update on Grace. My heart definitely goes out to Gracie, Elizabeth, Mark, et al. I applaud you for being strong, and being MIA. As one knows, social networking is great. But, in times like this, it makes my soul smile that EPW has chosen this route to take with her business – and for all of you helping her out! What an awesome community.

    Gracie is such a valuable teacher – already!

    Prayers, hugs, smiles, laughter, healing, peace, health, happiness!

    Lisa

  • Lisa Hines

    The healing's begun and will be full, never doubt it.
    Rock on,
