Matthew

Jun 30, 2007 20:30

My nephew, Cade, whom is 7 years old has epilepsy. He was obviously born with it. And lives with it. And we deal with it. And he has semi-retardation. It's something I speak very little of out of respect to my brother and his son.

Within the past week, my youngest nephew (Cade's younger brother, age 5) suffered a stroke. This was followed by a four day visit to a luxurious unit code named 'Intensive Care' and subsequent visits to the MRI.

Matthew was released two days ago with the results coming back yesterday. As fate has it, he has an 11cm tumor placed firmly on his outer brain. And at first glance it doesn't seem to have penetrated within. But that's only at first glance. And so he's having surgery Tuesday morning. And I can't be there- it's something that's tearing me up on the inside. There's no time to fly back and so forth, let alone make arrangements. And it puts me soft inside- hoping my parents well and my brothers stay focused.

Keep him in your prayers.
