Hey, guess what?! I'm not writing about my kids today.
Actually, I 'm not writing about me either.
When Miss M was almost 2 weeks old, a dear old (as in since high school) friend called apologizing for not calling sooner. It was the start of the school year and my friend is a teacher and also has a daughter in elementary school so I knew she was busy. "Don't apologize for being busy," I said.
Then she said, "No, things have been nuts." After a summer of trying to determine the cause of her husband's health issues, he had a brain tumor removed. The surgeon went in expecting a cyst but when he came out of surgery he said he didn't like the look of it. They were still waiting for the pathology report as we spoke that day.
I didn't call the day they went for the results and I left a voicemail the following day, but I didn't want to bury them under phone calls so waited.
Today I found out he has class IV Glioblastoma Multiforme, a very aggressive form of brain tumor
I am asking you to pray for my friend's husband (He's in his 40s) and for her and for their daughter as well. While the prognosis for this can be daunting, I know that he is planning on fighting it with everything he's got.
I'm far away so I thought the biggest and best thing I can do is to pray and to ask others to pray too.
Thank you!
-Peace
I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteCancer sucks.
Will put them on our prayer list!
ReplyDeleteCame to your blog today in the hopes of finding some inspiration, as I seem to be having one of those days (or weeks) And while I find that I can get caught up in the "stuff" that doesn't seem to be going right, I realized after reading your blog that there is little that I need to complain about. It's all relative, isn't it. I'm hoping that this someone from HS days will feel the love and prayers come their way. If I happen to know who this is, please send along my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers are with him and his family.
ReplyDeleteI was moved by your prayer.
ReplyDeleteIt touched me deeply. My husband and I use www.holylandprayer.com every time we feel the need to do something practical and to uplift our prayers.
I am praying for the almighty to help you.
