Levi

We got a new patient today, a 10 year old boy named Levi. Levi came to the ship to have a tumor removed from his face. They got him into surgery and found that the tumor was very invasive and probably cancer. He had part of the tumor removed here. He's been preliminarily diagnosed with Burkitts lymphoma and will get chemo. We took him and his mother to the hospital this morning to start his chemo treatment.

Please pray that this cancer is Burkitts (any other and there is no chemo treatment for it) and also for him to be completely healed. Also please pray for his mother Grace who is fully aware of the seriousness of what is going on. Her faith is very strong but she is understandably very upset.

Here's a photo of Levi taken by my roommate Megan.


Peace,
Michele
