I'm bumping this up to ask you all to please pray for Katie on Wednesday, when she is having surgery to remove her brain tumor. May the tumor be benign and may God bring her full healing!

Thank you!

Prayed for Katie just now. What a scary trial to go through!

I talked to my brother, who talked with Katie's husband this afternoon. She came through the surgery and was not yet fully awake at that time. Her husband couldn't offer much news, as Katie was sleeping in the room and he was whispering. He did say, however, that the doctor said everything went well. I am assuming that it takes some time for the lab to discern if it is cancerous. I am waiting to hear more. I'd appreciate continued prayers. Thanks so much!

I just saw this, but I know God is outside of time - so I'm sending my prayers for healing and continued wisdom as this is likely going to be a long process of recovery and many decisions. We're going through this with my brother (30yo) right now. His tumor is cancerous.

We've been invoking Blessed Frassati and Our Lady of Good Remedy. I'll add Katie to our intentions for Chris.

I should have written before now to update a bit, but we had a very hectic Memorial Day weekend. I believe that Katie will learn whether the tumor was cancerous at her next appt. on Thursday. But there is good news in that it looks like they got the entire tumor and she is home and seems mentally and physically OK, so there doesn't seem to be any brain damage from the surgery. She is in a lot of pain and her face is partially numb, but I am assuming that that is to be expected now. I hope to know more after Thursday. Thanks for your continued prayers.

Jennifer, I am so sorry about your brother. I will pray for him too. Thank you so much for your prayers for Katie in the midst of illness in your own family.
