Freepers, I have an emergancy prayer request for 8 year old Lucas who is my friend's nephew. He was diagnosed with a large brain tumor this weekend. The tumor is so large that the doctors are expiditing the schedule of his surgery. He is going in TODAY for brain surgery to remove the tumor.
I will continue to Prayer for Lucas
Thank you Sweet Jesus. Continued prayers for precious Lucas. He is good and will come through and answer prayer.
Prayers sent. Please keep us posted!
Prayers lifted my FRiend, for this child, his family and caregivers.
Tatt
Continued prayers for a full recovery and strength for he and the family.
In short, he is doing very well. Prior to the surgery, Lucas could not see out of one of his eyes. That condition remains. However, the biopsy came back as type1 non-agressive which is treatable with chemo. The doctors are unsure if the vision will return but the chemo treatments may allow his vision in that eye to return.
Lucas is awake, does not have any pain, has full motion, full speech, full mental faculties and is doing so well, that on Thursday, they moved him out of ICU. They still want to keep him over the week end but it looks like he will go home Monday.
Prayers of thanks giving!!!!
