Pray For Mr. G

Last weekend was such a mix of emotions, it has taken me this whole week just to process them. One thing I have confirmed this weekend is that a mothers intuition is strong-mothers are strong. Somehow God has given us the ability to feel what our children feel, to sense danger and to act- even when we just want to curl up in a ball and cry.To go on day after day, even when we are facing things larger than we feel we can handle. Thankfully God knows and when we pray he hears us and helps. This little guy and his family need our prayers because they are facing some uncertainties. This adorable guy- Mr. G has a very important test Friday at the Mayo Clinic. An MRI-and what started out as a routine doctors appointment has really caused this family's life to screech to a halt. Partly because of an observant doctor, but mostly because of a mothers intuition to push forward. Doctor to plastic surgeon, back to doctor, to specialty clinic, and on to Mayo(wow-is that ever familiar!) All because of a cyst which is actually not huge or noticeable it is just not in a good place. At first it appeared to be a dermoid cyst- BUT- if these appear mid line between the eyes which his does the possibility of encephalocele becomes greater. Encephalocele is "a neural tube defect characterized by the presence of brain tissue and membranes outside the skull. Usually they are dramatic but occasionally a small encephalocele in the forehead region can go undetected ( I did not notice his right away). The prognosis depends on the type of brain tissue involved. This is why tomorrow is important for Mr. G and his family. Please pray for him, his mom, dad, 2 big sisters, and his extended family.
God be with you during your test Mr. G!
