PRAYER ALERT!!! JOSHUA HAD A HARD DAY YESTERDAY & TODAY WITH A SEVERE HEADACHE & VOMITING. LATE THIS AFTERNOON THEY DID A CT SCAN TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON & SAID THE SHUNT WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THEY EXTRACTED 3 VILES OF FLUID FROM HIS BRAIN TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE & JOSHUA'S HEADACHE WENT AWAY. HE IS SCHEDULED FOR SURGERY TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE SHUNT. PRAY: *THAT JOSHUA WILL QUIT THE EXCESSIVE VOMITING, *HE & HIS FAMILY WILL REST WELL & NOT FEAR SURGERY, *THE SURGERY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM, *FOR STRENGTH TO FINISH THE CHEMO & 10 RADIATION TREATMENTS, *WISDOM IN FUTURE DECISIONS, *TOTAL & COMPLETE HEALING FOR JOSHUA!

can you please pray for him? he has now been in the hospital for over a month. his body has been through so much with the radiation and chemo. his parents are worn out and josh is so weary.... anyway, just wanted to give an update and pass on this urgent request. (in the photo, my cousin Gino and his wife Diedere are in the middle. Victoria is 13 and Caleb is 16). thanks for praying!!
