Tito

There is a young man in the precario with a brain tumor. He is only 22 years old but seems much older since some of the effects of the tumor are stroke like. He has lots of trouble speaking and walking really doing much of anything. While going through all this we have been able to get to know him and share the Lord with him. He is illegal so the hope of him being treated is very slim. When the doctor started the clinic we introduced him to her and asked if there was anything she could do for him. She said she would try but she didn't have much hope for what could be done. It has been a very long process. He had his surgery Monday. It was 8 hours long! We don't know what the surgeon's prognosis is but his mother said he woke up and was able to ask and answer lots of questions. I'd say that was a good sign. I'll be sure to keep you updated on his condition. It's been months since this all started but it happened and now with the Lord's help he will live a normal life. So pray for him and his family and thank God for everything he has done so far. Because of the tumor he has been open to hear and accept Jesus.
