Keith got a call from one of his best friends from high school on Thursday evening, saying his brother Karl has a brain tumor and was schedule for surgery the next day. Keith called his parents to let them know as well, and to ask them to pray for Karl throughout the surgery. While Keith was on the phone, I could tell that Carsen knew something was going on. Here was our conversation from that evening:
Amy: Carsen, daddy is sad tonight.
Carsen: Why mommy?
Amy: Because one of his friends is very sick.
Carsen: What's his name?
Amy: His name is Karl.
Carsen immediately closed his eyes, folded his hands and bowed his head and began to ask God to help Karl not to be sick and to help him feel better.
As a mom, it made me so proud to see him have such an instinct to do that right away. Many times yesterday at random times, Carsen and I prayed for Karl.
We don't know a lot as of yet, but it sounds like the large tumor on Karl's brain is cancerous. From what I've heard (3rd person) it's very aggressive, and they weren't able to remove the tumor because of it's size. Please continue to pray for Karl, and for his family. Karl's dad lost the battle to cancer 10-12 years ago, so this is especially tough on the family.
