The other day, I posted a prayer request for Alfredo, a friend of mine with a brain tumor.\u00a0 Yesterday his wife writes:<\/p>\n
Well it has been an eventful day. Results of Alfredo\u2019s pre-op brain MRI showed that the tumor had SHRUNK by 95% compared to the MRIs taken 15 & 16 days ago!!! Yes, really, down 95%!<\/p>\n
For this reason our surprised neurosurgeon Dr. S canceled the surgery, thank God. It\u2019s NOT a glioma (Dr. S\u2019s assumption from the data up to now). We are not out of the woods yet, there has clearly been serious damage to Alfredo\u2019s short-term memory, and a belief by Dr. S that some kind of brain cancer caused it. But new appt with neuro oncologist first thing tomorrow morning should give us some clues to what, and how do we fight on. Thanks be to God and thank you all for your love and prayers, please keep on praying!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Father, we praise and\u00a0glorify your name for your wonderful answer to our prayer and ask that you would continue healing Alfredo completely through Christ our Lord.\u00a0 Give\u00a0his caregivers skill, knowledge, wisdom and compassion and give grace, peace, strength and hope to all who love him.\u00a0 Mother\u00a0Mary, St. Luke, and St. Peregrine, pray for them.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
