Abba Yah, Only you and Alex knows what she is going through; but I do know that this is a road that no one wants to travel. I am confident that Alex has a chair at the wedding feast already reserved for her along with the others who has had this rare condition known as hydranencephaly. I pray the name of Yahusha Hamashiach over her and her family.
