Spencer and his brother were adopted from Russia when they were 3. His brother was dropped during birth by the attending doctor, who didnt know there was a second baby and has a brain injury as well as autism. He is in a respite care home and will be coming home next week as soon as they can get his medications right.
Spencer has had headaches for a month and was attributed to a sinus infection. Last night, an MRI showed a very large tumor. He is heading to surgery now and it is not known how he will be when he wakes up. It is in the part of the brain that controls language and understanding, which the doctors have prepared her for. He may lose his ability to talk.
The father has been paying child support but not any court ordered medical bills - it is my understanding that he is required to pay for all extra medical bills. My friend is working 2 jobs to pay for all of these expenses. The amount accrued over the past 10 years is staggering. The father gives the court old addresses so it is hard to get him served. They are dealing with three to five different states and she has moved to Georgia so different laws apply. She cant afford an attorney to find him and fight this.
Please pray for both of these 17 year olds and my friend, who has raised two fine young men.
Lord Jesus, heal, we beseech Thee, Spencer and his brother of all illness and provide sustenance for their suffering family.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.

Heavenly Father please surround Spencer with your hedge of protection during his surgery and recovery. Guide the minds and hands of the medical team taking care of him. And bring peace and comfort to all of Spencer's family and friends. In Jesus name we pray. Amen
My prayers for the family.
I had a small, but fairly serious inoperable brain tumor discovered last year. (No suprise there for some FReerps with whom I have tangled.)
The couple of days between hearing about it, and learning it was not going to have a huge impact....now....were the worst days of my life.
I will say a prayer for you and for Spencer.
God will keep you in his hands. I will keep the little guy in my heart.
Its sad that we can use the word Russian in two threads in a row. One is negative about Putin or Ukraine. The second is to pray for a little boy.
In God’s eyes we are all his children.
Stay strong. For you and for him.
I used the term little boy.
As a large old man, any one under 30 is a kid. Anyone under 18 is a little boy!
All my prayers for Spencer and family.
I’m praying that the Lord heal Spencer and help the family in their great time of need and distress.
To: Cowgirl
I prayed for complete healing for your friend’s son.
Praying now.
