I am reposting this blog entry from my friend, Melissa. Her son, Chase, has be fighting a brain tumor for several years and he (and the family) are needing major prayers once again. Chase is one of Hays's dear friends and I cannot imagine, as a mom, being as strong as Melissa is and has been. So, please read below and please pray and please pass it along to all the prayer warriors you know!!!
Today Chase had another MRI scan and the results were that the tumor had grown yet again, significantly. Chase is facing yet his 3rd surgery in a couple of weeks after an angiogram is completed to see how the vessels and arteries look in his brain. Once the Professor looks over this test he will determine what type of surgery he will perform. Nevertheless, there will be a surgery and many, many prayers are needed for Chase! Right now we are looking at the week of June 28th sometime to do the angiogram and then the following day or two, the surgery. Chase is really worried about going through another surgery - we all are - the older he gets I think the more he "understands" and gets anxious. This morning during the MRI for the first time ever, he was shaking so badly all over that he couldn't stay still for the scan and he ended up throwing up. He was scared out of his mind. We believe that he has probably known for months that something was going on in his body that was "different" yet he never complained or had a bad attitude...he just went with the flow.
