Our Friends the Pattersons

Our friends Natalie and Josh have been at the hospital all week with their daughter, Adri. Nancy and Adri are only 5 days apart, Natalie was at Clemson with Ryan and me and they are highly involved in our church here in Greenville.

I will try to make it brief, and if you want more information click on the links that will take you to Adri's site and Josh and Natalie's site. At the beginning of the year they noticed Adri having what seemed to be "absence seizures" and scheduled an EEG to monitor her brain activity. The night before the EEG, they were to keep Adri up as long as possible, but she began seizing and they rushed to the hospital, where an MRI revealed she has a brain tumor the size of a tangerine. This morning was her surgery to remove the tumor.

Please be praying:

That Adri will recover fully to her spunky, talkative self
That the tumor is benign
That the doctors removed the entirety of the tumor
Relief and sleep for Josh and Natalie

In the midst of all this, they were in the process of moving houses and Josh preparing his dissertation for his PhD. Also pray that these things will not be things that are overwhelming to them but that they will trust God's timing in all things.

Oh how devastating for that family. I am praying for them this evening.
