A lot's been going on around here lately that I haven't blogged about. It feels like the devil is working overtime. Cancer seems be spreading like wild fire. I thought our church had been hit particular hard, but what's really on my heart lately is this little guy. He's our adorable little nephew, Lawrence. He's the perfect mix of his mom and dad. The last time we got to see him was back in January when we were in Seattle for my dad's retirement party. It was Lawrence's first big trip out of Yakima. This weekend we found out that he has cancer. Yes, cancer. At just 2 years old this little boy is fighting for his life. As I write this he is in surgery to remove a tumor along with his left kidney. The prognosis is wonderful, so we're hopeful that all will turn out well. He'll still have to have chemotherapy for 6-9 months. I'm sure that will take a toll on his body and immune system. Please keep this little guy in your prayers.
We were fortuante enough to be in Yakima to celebrate Lawrence's birthday. You might remember that post way back here. This all brings back memories of when Jonathan was in the hospital. There was nothing we could do, but sit and wait and pray. Though I'm sure the outcome here is will be completely different it's still hard to just sit and wait and pray. If you've a got a minute please pray. Thank you.

Poor little guy. I hope the surgery went well and yes, we will definitely keep him in our prayers.
Dr. Kleinig says that prayer is piggy-backing a person right into God's presence, so, while you wait, know there are a great many of us out here running little Lawrence right up to our Lord and handing him over.
What a sweetie. Sending some prayers for his successful surgery and the road ahead. Is this Dustin's little boy?
Praying for this sweet boy. And for all of you & his family.
So sorry to hear this. I remember your post on him...he has unforgettable eyes! I'm praying for him!
I love Adriane's post with Dr. Kleinig's quote. We, too, will keep little Lawrence and his family in our prayers.
Thinking and praying for Lawrence and his family.
