    I'm feeling so low

    My older daughter's husband has been diagnosed with a possible brain tumor. He had a stroke (they think) a few weeks ago and got paralized for a while and couldn't talk. But it has passed and he is talking okay now, only he has headaches and neck hurts. They are now saying it could either be brain tumor, severe MS or stroke. He is 27 years old. I am beside myself. He is a good father and husband. They've been married for over the past 9 years and I can't bear the fear and pain that he and my daughter are going through. They are still testing it, but say they don't think they can operate. It is in a very delicate area of the brain.

    I am feeling very helpless today and ask that you please take time to say a prayer for my son-in-law and that my daughter be strong enought to deal with this. It doesn't look good, although we haven't received a definite diagnosis or prognosis from the doctors yet. He is seeing a neurologist, two brain surgeons and a stroke specialist.
    He is scheduled to take 7 more MRI tests, 2 more ultra-sounds and a bubble doppler test (whatever that is).
    Starting Date 3/12/04 285/165/145 - F



    Dedication gives wings to our dreams and keeps them in flight! In One Word...COMMITTMENT.

                Your family is in our prayers. {{{dreamoffamily}}} I hope he'll be all right and that they can diagnose him with the least repercussive malady.
