The Results Are In...

I really didn't feel like writing this post, so I stalled for a bit and added a bunch of new pictures. Hope you like them!
We did get a phone call from Ryan's surgeon this morning. There are two tumors that could be causing Ryan the problems he's been having. One is on his cerebellum, like most of his others have been. It would be the same kind of surgery that he has had before. And removing it may or may not make things better. The other tumor is on his brain stem. This one is not so pretty. The surgery is very major (not like the other ones aren't...) but they want to avoid it for as long as possible. So the bottom line is...the doctor wants to give Ryan two weeks and then reassess his symptoms to see if we can figure out which tumor is causing him the problems. At that point, we'll talk about surgery.
So we have two weeks for the prayer warriors in our lives to buckle down and help us combat these symptoms and the tumors. We serve a powerful God, and He doesn't want Ryan going through this any more than we do. To Him be the glory no matter what the situation, but if we can avoid this rather large trial, than we will be that much more thankful. I am personally praying for Ryan to have lots of energy, no pressure in his head or headaches, no depression about the situation, and no stress or worry about how to take care of his family. Will you pray with me?
