Sad, sad news....

We have just learned that Buster's oldest son, Brad, has a brain tumor. We're all still in shock, to say the least. Over the last few months he has had some episodes of numbness in his right arm, and uncontrol of his right pinky finger, which eventually led him to seek medical attention. After several doctor's appt's, and an MRI was done, he found out the news on Jan. 6 that there was a mass the size of a walnut on the left side of the brain.

He has done a lot of research on the internet, and eventually got an appt with a neuro doctor in Denver. He wants to seek a second opinion there in Denver, and possibly a third in Phoenix.

Brad is 38 and lives in Steamboat Springs, CO. He and Laura were married in July of 2007. They have stayed amazingly strong through this ordeal, but no one knows at this point what lies ahead for them.

Please keep him in your prayers!

Love to you all,
Cathy

Susan, Steve and I will add Brad to the prayer list at church. It's pretty powerful. The prayers of the whole family go out to Brad and his wife.

Please let Brad know that we'll be praying for him as well and will ask for prayers from our Sunday School group. Please keep us updated on any news.
