Not a big update tonight, but I did want to ask for your prayers for our dear friend Alec.

We met Alec and his family at Schneiders hospital, I have mentioned him here before. I knew right away he had medulloblastoma, and even the same surgeon. It's like seeing a Monet and knowing right away whom the artist is. I could tell by the scar! Anyway, Alec has been through some very rough times lately, only a couple months after his stem cell transplant and some changes on his MRI. All docs have thought it was scar tissue, then tumor, now unsure. He started with severe headaches last week and was rushed to the hospital. Surgery was supposed to happen on Friday, but was delayed due to a high fever. He did have the surgery today, and while there, the doctor was to take a biopsy of the spot. You may have seen Christine's comment (another Schneiders cancer friend) on Hannah's blog today, we're all hoping and praying for NO TUMOR.

If you would like to leave a message on Alec's blog, I know the family would appreciate your thoughts and prayers. Let them know you are friends of Hannah's, I'm sure Alec would get a kick out of that. There is a picture of Alec from Saturday now posted on his blog too! Here is his address: http://www.4theluvofalec.blogspot.com/ or you can click HERE which should take you right to his site.

Hannah is doing well, I will post some pictures tomorrow from her weekend adventures.

xoxo Kim
