Please Pray For Our Fifteen-Year-Old Granddaughter, Jana

She has been ill since late August – throwing up most of what she eats. She has had almost every test possible for her digestive system. Each has been negative.

At the request of one specialist, an MRI was ordered, and on Wednesday, November 5, we learned that it revealed a mass in her brain called Arteriovenous Malformations. It is not a malignant mass, but comes with a variety of possible complications.

Jere, Kristen, and Jana have an appointment at CHOP (Children’s Hospital Of Philadelphia) on Monday to see what kind of treatment will be needed. If Jere and Kristen and the specialist want a second opinion, the specialist has lined up another appointment at Johns Hopkins in early December.

It feels like the air has been sucked out of our body. However, God has been incredibly close to us the past few days, especially during an anointing service by two of our ministers last night – at Jere and Kristen’s house.

It is our desire that God will be honored and glorified during this journey.
