Pray for Connor

Hey guys.. here is the update on Connor from his cousin... PLEASE PRAY!!!!!!!!



We have the biopsy report back on the mass in Connor's abdomen. COnnor has a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor. It s a form of cancer of the connective tissue surrounding nerves. It can be caused by radiation.

In Connor s case, it s grown to 5-7 cm (2 to 2-3/4 inches) since August, and it s fast growing. It s bigger than they first thought. Surgery is the only way to cure it, and if they don t get it all, it s over. They ll probably have to remove part of his stomach to insure they ve gotten it all. The surgery will be 10-12 hours beginning early Wednesday morning. We need heavy-duty prayer.

A surgeon with steady hands guided by God.

Peace tonight for Tait, Joy and Connor as they await tomorrow. Strength to get through the long day of waiting tomorrow. And a positive report after the surgery that they got it all. We need miracle.

My mom and I are heading up to Houston tonight to wait with them. Please everyone, if you could, throughout tomorrow, pray pray pray for little Connor. Wear your camo bracelet if you need a reminder! Write it on your mirror or hand or a sticky note, but please remember Connor tomorrow and pray for that miracle. Thank you all so much.

with hope, lexie
