A precious member of our family is in need of your prayers. Richard, aka Little Man, is 2 and a half yrs. old. After receiving what his parents were told were "every test known to man" during Christmas, and being sent home with a tube for feeding (he had been admitted after weeks of diarrhea which caused dehydration) began vomiting a week ago. His Mom insisted upon re-admittance to the hospital which they did. The doctor ordered a catscan and ultrasound (why that wasn't done before is beyond us, but we put that away for another day). The test found a tennis ball size tumor, and immediately proceeded to go after a biopsy. Once in, seeing the tumor was attached to no vital organ, the removed it right away.
Yesterday, we heard the news that the biopsy came back and is malignant. We do not know at this time what type of cells or any other information. Our entire extensive family is praying, and we would ALL appreciate the prayers of FReepers, we believe the more prayers, the better! Thank you all!!
Pinging you, thank you for your help!
Prayers up for little Richard! Where is the tumor?
Tender Jesus, meek and mild,
Look on me, a little child;
Help me, if it is Thy will,
To recover from all ill.
Amen.
I did not mention that this is the son of my nephew, and my mothers great grandson. I truly appreciate all prayers.
Prayers for God’s blessings on all. Through the intercession of Pope John Paul II may he be healed.
Prayers up for the precious little guy.
Heartfelt prayers...
Prayers!
Dear God. Updates please.
prayers up for your little guy.
Prayers have been sent to our Lord for the little man. God bless him and heal him.
I will indeed do my best. Most of the family must rely on phone calls for updates, as we do not want the parents phones ringing from all of us, and they are so far away it makes it difficult. Seems the very best we can do right now is send those prayers down to Louisville!!
As soon as he was re-admitted, Mom got on the phone with her pastor and he dropped everything and went up there. He prayed they would find whatever the problem was and remove it, which is exactly what happened! Prayer indeed works miracles!
Prayers up for little Richard .... that God will bless him with comfort, strength and healing and that his family will feel the presence of God and know that He is in control and will be with them always.
Prayers up for your child.
Prayers for the baby, his parents, the doctors and the rest of his family and friends.

Prayers up for tiny Richard. God is merciful and will watch over him.
Hopefully they got to the tumor before it spread to other organs. I pray he will be well soon.
I have a link you can go to and place a prayer in his name. I will do so too. It is Lourdes and it is the Grotto. The webcam puts you directly in the Grotto so you feel you are really there.
