No one goes before there time. All the dire or positive predictions of men mean nothing in the light of Jesus Christ. Whatever may come, trust that there is a reason for it. Speaking from a personal standpoint, I've been dead, 10 to 15 minutes no heart beat, no breathing, nothing depending on which report your reading (police or EMT). Every now and then I pull out copies of those reports and the police photos to remind me of this as I did just a few minutes ago. 2000 pounds of steel, glass, and rubber at 60mph will put a severe hurt on person standing in it's way. There is no medical explanation why I am still here 25 years as of today for this (Sept. 7, 1982). I should have remained dead, and if not, I should be brain dead. (some say I am but that is another story). Some give me slack about it, but it's something that cannot be understood except by those who've experienced it. However; rest assured from someone who has been to the other side and back, If it is Gods will, your son will pull through it. That Doctor is nothing but a tool of God, and faith and prayer in/to his Son is the real power. I am living proof of the power of God. Believe in him, and nothing is impossible.

With all my prayers for you son,
Gerald

well dont know really where to start . we got the diagnosis back yesterday and it is cancer it is a P N E T  tumor on his little brain they are going to try to keep it undrcontrol and possibly shrink it with chemo therapy and when he is old enough possibly remove it and then radiation they say he is to young for radiation right now so yall please keep praying for my son and i'm sure all will be fine with all of rooting for him he'll be just fine i'm sure of it hell he went thru 3 brain surgeries in 5 days with a 10% chance of making it and he's still here they say his chances are 40% i found info on the web that his chances are 60-80% so we'll just keeping kicking and see what happens he sure is a real trooper
