Dear Family,

The news from yesterday's MRI was discouraging - the tumors have remained 
unchanged since the last MRI six weeks ago.

Consequently, they have scheduled surgery almost immediately lest the tumors 
begin to grow again.

Please lift up our dear grandson Skylar in your prayers!  And please ask for 
grace for us and for Suzanne and for little Chris.

We (Pam, Chris, and I) plan to drive to Stanford on Sunday in order to be 
there for the surgery early Monday morning.  Dr. Moss is the surgeon, please 
pray for him.

We will be there at least a week; Skylar must be there for two or three weeks 
as they plan to use radiation on his lungs after he has recovered some from the 
surgery.

God is my Refuge and my Hope.

Thank you,

-Dann
