April’s Story

Site created on November 23, 2020

Back in October, April was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She had surgery on October 28th and should have been in the hospital for 5 to 7 days, that quickly changed with many obstacles coming her way. April ended up having several more surgeries and was put in ICU Nov. 5th.  Drs. Called us in a week ago to say April was not strong enough to get the chemo she needs to survive BUT GOD! April is a fighter and seems to be defying odds she’s getting stronger and we are specifically praying for her to gain strength for chemo!!

Hey friends please pray for April Mattern this week! She goes to dr February 4th to have blood work and see if she can get her next chemo treatment! She’s been sick a lot and is drained daily. Pray for this as well! ❤️🙏🏼❤️
