Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

It's amazing what neurosurgeons can do nowadays - your friend Alene has every reason to be optimistic. Adding my prayers to the many being sent...

My most recent update from Alene:

"I saw the neurosurgeon last week and the endocronologist today at (local hospital). Of course the neurosurgeon wants to do surgery and the endocronologist wants to try medication first. These doctors work closely together but they disagree on the correct method of treatment for my case. I am getting a second opinion from both a neurosurgeon and an endocronologist next Wednesday at (another local hospital). Please please please pray that I continue to gain strength through prayer as I try to make the right decisions. Right now I am leaning towards a trial of medication for a few months to see what happens. Surgery just seems so risky to me when it concerns the brain. The medication does have side effects but hopefully I will be able to handle them.
I will keep you updated as I know more.
God bless,
Alene"

What a hard choice to make! I will pray God provides her the wisdom to make the best decision for her treatment.
