I learned this past weekend that my 31 year old cousin, Katie, was diagnosed on Good Friday with a brain tumor. She is the mother of three young children. Her youngest is only about 4 months old.

She has been told that the chance of it being cancerous is about 80%. Her headaches have been so horrible that she would like to have surgery to remove the tumor, even if it ends up being benign. My mom tells me that she has excellent doctors. Katie has an appointment this week to make some decisions.

She has asked that heaven be flooded with prayers for her healing. It breaks my heart. Please pray for a complete healing for her, so she can be there for her children as they grow up, and for wisdom for both her and the doctors. And please pray for grace for her husband and children and my aunt and uncle, who are devastated. Thank you!
