prayer request for a 12 year old

Hooked · March 14, 2011, 12:09:00 PM

Hi, everybody!

A good friend of mine, David Baranowski, just found out on Friday that his 12 year old son, Zack, has a brain tumor. They did an MRI on Saturday to see if there were any other tumors along the spinal column. The good news was they didn't find any more. They don't know yet if it is malignant.

Please pray for Zack and their family!

Your friend has a powerful prayer warrior in his corner with you after what you've been thru, you surely are a beacon of what faith can do...or as your daughter Katie put it, "bestest doc is God".

Prayers that God will find it in His will that young Zack will be spared cancer and regardless, that the trials ahead will be filled with His presence, Grace and loving support for your friend and his family.

Lord in your Mercy!

Thanks for the prayers!

Zach and his family appreciate it!

I have been traveling for work and haven't had a chance to update.

Zach had his surgery on Tuesday. He was on the table for like nine hours. Surgeon said all went well and he is cautiously optimistic.

They are waiting on pathology to see if it is cancer or not. If not, then hopefully he is done and it is just a matter of healing from the surgery. If it is, then next step is chemo and radiation.

I know from experience how hard this is on Zach's parents and brother.

Please pray that it is not malignant and for a quick and full recovery! Also, please pray for all of them to know God's peace and strength throughout this ordeal!

Just got a text from David that the pathology came back and Zach's tumor is benign! Will know more later, but just wanted to relay the good news!

Thank you, Lord!

Please keep praying for a quick and complete recovery!
