Prayer request update

This is an email I got on Wednesday from Hank's brother about Luke's surgery (see past post for pryer information)....

This is Hank's brother Matthew. Hank won't have computer access until tomorrow, so he asked me to send out this update for him.

The surgery was today and went as well as the surgeon expected. He was able to make two incisions and break up some of the cyst membranes. Luke did great and will be in recovery in the ICU until Wednesday afternoon. If all goes well, he will be released late Wednesday. The doctor plans to take an MRI on Wednesday to see if there is any immediate progress. He is also going to take a second MRI about 3-4 weeks from now.

Hank also asked me to let you all know that they appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers so much. They should be back home in Henrietta on Sunday.

Prayer Request

A friend of mine from home (Hank & Kealey Bullinger) noticed that her 5 month old son's head was as big as her 2 year old's head. She was concerned, but after doctors said it was nothing, she let it go... Finally, she decided she couldn't let it go anymore... she knew something was wrong.

After tests, they found out that Luke had a cyst in his head.

The good news is that it is operable & malignant.

The scary part is the fact that a 5 month old is going to have surgery on his head.

Here's an image of Luke's cyst (gray area on left is the cyst). There is a slight chance that his surgery will be bumped up earlier to Tuesday 7/22 at 1 pm instead of Thursday 7/24.

Please keep my dear friends in your thoughts...
