A boy, about 10, from our homeschool community has been diagnosed, rather suddenly late last night, after a sudden sickness with a brain tumor. Please pray for him, his doctors, and his family. He will be having several operations very soon.

update: I had his age wrong, he is 12.
update below March 19 10:41 PM: Surgery 8 AM tomorrow
Danny will be in surgery for about 4 hours.

Also:

His mother asked that everyone pray to Blessed Pope John Paul II for his intercession. He needs one more miracle for canonization. Here is a prayer from the EWTN web site for his canonization:

O Holy Trinity,
we thank you for having given to the Church
Pope John Paul II,
and for having made him shine with your fatherly tenderness,
the glory of the Cross of Christ and the splendor of the Spirit of love

He, trusting completely in your infinite mercy
and in the maternal intercession of Mary, has shown himself
in the likeness of Jesus the Good Shepherd
and has pointed out to us holiness
as the path to reach eternal communion with You.

Grant us, through his intercession,
according to your will, the grace that we implore,
in the hope that he will soon be numbered among your saints.
Amen.

Update Wed. Mar. 20 2:16 PM central:

Latest news just in from (Danny's mom) is that Danny is out of surgery!! Everything went very well, & the doctor thinks she got all of the tumor, but it's impossible to be sure; it was a very bad tumor. Thankfully, he did not require a transfusion. He will next undergo chemo & radiation treatment. They will be trying to get him into (cancer hospital) for this.

Please pray now that Danny recovers well, with no complications, & that he will be able to go to (cancer hospital) for further treatment, & that this will completely heal him.

Thank you for all your prayers. I knew that you all would pray. The boy's name is Danny; I taught him in my Blue Knights club several years ago.

Early this morning, Danny had surgery to put in a drain to relieve the fluid which was building up & causing the nausea. He will have surgery to remove the tumor tomorrow. Here is an update from a close friend of his mother:


Danny will have surgery tomorrow (Wed.) morning at approximately 8:00 (Central) , it will be about a 4 hour surgery.

Please, please storm heaven for him, for his doctors/nurses, & for his family.
