Please pray for Maria who has what was originally thought was an inoperable brain tumor. Julie, her mother, was a member of this boards but I'm not sure if she's active. Here are her emails:

Quote:
Maria, my 12 year old, has been having problems with the right side of her body (thankfully she is left handed). This has affected her walking, her balance, ability to lift things and any fine motor skills as well as her ability to read, write, spell. She is seeing double, etc, etc, etc. Tom took her to the doctor this morning but he referred her to a peditrician in Madison. The Ped called back and said to bring her into the Emergency Room right away. I have no other answers so if you could spare a prayer that they can find out what is happening, it would be greatly appreciated.


Quote:
Maria has a brain tumor in the middle of her brain where they cannot operate. Please pray for us and that she will have a peaceful death as soon as God calls her. We do not know how much time she has left.


Quote:
Tom just met with another neurosurgeon who said he might be able to remove the tumor. That would be tomorrow or Monday.


She is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow at 7:30. The people on Bridget's group, Magnum Opus, are planning on saying the rosary between now and then using the Glorious mysteries as we are expecting a glorious miracle.

Please join us.

UPDATE: 12/15/09 Maria came HOME today!!!!!!!!

Please continue your prayers, we have a long road ahead of us but the first bend in the road was to have her home again. Praise be Jesus Christ, now and forever.
