It could be Ivan.

There is a little boy who goes to the same church I do. I haven't met his family, I haven't met him, and I don't know anything about them. Here is a Facebook post that was made on the church page..

"Brady was diagnosed with atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) of the central

nervous system. It is a very rare tumor, tends to be aggressive and frequently

spreads through the central nervous system.

Because of his age they have given him a 20% chance of survival."

Oh. My. Goodness. My heart is breaking for this family. I know his mother has got to be scared to death, and I know I definitely wouldn't be holding it together if I was in her shoes.

All I can think about is that it could be Ivan. Brady and Ivan are close in age, and it absolutely terrifies me that anything like that can happen to our precious babies. I know in my heart that he really isn't mine, he is God's..but I'm here to protect him! Ivan is my whole entire world!


Friends, please keep this family in your prayers. They have headed to St. Jude's in Memphis for the next few months, and while I know that God is in control, I just wish that there was more that I could do.
