We have recently received the devastating news that Elliott has a brain tumor. We are currently in the "not knowing" phase of diagnosis which is extremely difficult. We have very high hopes that his tumor is benign, and we also pray that it will not require surgery. Please pray for him to be healthy, and if you don't pray, please send thoughts of peace and healing. We need all that we can get. Thank you.
Thank you for all of the wonderfully supportive comments and emails. Just to be clear...Elliott is the husband and daddy of the family not the baby E(2). Also, to add to the drama of the week, I fell down the stairs last night and have a sprained or possibly broken ankle. However, on the bright side, it was a distraction and a little bit of comic relief...I couldn't stop laughing at my extreme stupidity... *sigh*
Lord God, please let this tumor be benign!
ReplyDeleteMy prayers are with you and your family in this uncertain time.
ReplyDeletePraying for you. Keep trusting, and hang in there. Our Awesome God has a plan for you, for your husband, for your family. He will carry you through this, every step of the way.
