Pray

While I was running the bases with my Caleb, another family with a Caleb was preparing him for a dangerous surgery, which is scheduled for this afternoon. Their Caleb is five years old, and he has cancer, and the surgeons have told his parents to prepare for the likelihood that he won't survive the operation.

Please pray for their Caleb, and for them. Don't just agree that prayer is a good idea, or shake your head in sadness, or have a good thought for them. Humble yourself by bowing your head and asking God to give a family you don't know a miracle.

Update
From my friend: "They found another tumor on one of his lungs. They are going to operate tomorrow. They'll remove the kidney and try to take the tumor (on outside of artery) as well. They are going to radiate the lung tumor and then take him through a year of chemo."

Remember their little boy in your prayers tonight and tomorrow.

Tony -

Prayer prayed, and will be prayed again. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Will do, and continue to pray, until you give us an update telling us that Caleb is doing OK.
BTW - Tony, did you get my email about Simon?

Lord,

Touch... heal... comfort... manifest Your presence in this situation...

... quickly.

I can close my eyes and picture the Lord touching Caleb with his healing hands.
I will continue to pray.

Please keep us posted.

Again and again Amen (let it be so)!

Just wanted you to know I'm still praying. Please pass our prayers along to the family.

God bless.
