Prayer Request

I just found out that my younger brother (20) has had a swollen area on his face for at least a month now.  My dad finally got him to go to the dentist because they thought it was an infected tooth.  Well, the dentist told him that he had a tumor under his right eye and needs to see a specialist ASAP.  Of course my brother is terrified that it's going to be something terrible.  In addition to the normal worried feelings you might have, he always sees the bad side of things.  He doesn't even want to tell my mom and I'm not even supposed to know.  (So, I go post it for the world to see...)

Anyway, I'd really appreciate it if you could keep him in your prayers, send some healthy dust his was or whatever you do for good luck.  He has an appt with a specialist Tues but I don't know if he'll even find anything out then. I'm trying not to worry but it's hard.

Thanks

Re: Prayer Request

  • Prayers and dust that it's benign and will be taken care of easily. That is daunting though.

  • Thoughts and prayers. Thankfully he went to the Dr and is getting it looked into. Not so sure my brother would unless he was taken kicking and screaming.

  • How scary!  Good thoughts and prayers for your family!!
  • Oh he must be terrified! I'll keep in my prayers that it turns out to be nothing, is easily healed, and that he can ge through this without too much stress on himself.
  • Wow, I would be scared, too...he will be in my thoughts. I hope it's just a cyst or something that's easily taken care of. Last time I had a dental x-ray they thought they saw something like that in my jaw (turns out it was just a salivary gland, ha), but the dentist said that benign tumors and cysts around the teeth and jaw are more common than you might think. I'll be wishing him the best.

    This makes me feel better.  Thanks for sharing.

    This.  My brother is stubborn.. T&P coming your way.  I hope everything will be okay.

  • Prayers headed your way!  Hopefully it is minor.
  • I will definitely keep your family in my prayers.
