The afternoon of November 30th we found out that our 4 year old daughter, Mara, has a large brain tumor. They will not be able to remove all of it, as it has wrapped around 2 major arteries and has been there so long that it is part of her brain. It is dangerously close to the brain stem and has been partially been blocking the spinal fluid system. She already has some permanent hearing loss and slight facial paralysis on the right side. Our surgeon was very blunt with us. Our baby girl is in serious trouble and they will do what they can to help her. After her surgery on monday morning they will biopsy the tumor to determine the type of cancer they are dealing and them make a plan to try to fight what they have to leave in there with chemo and radiation. We discovered it through a CT scan that was ordered after a teacher noticed her was tilted the left...which we didn't think too much of but mentioned it to the pediatrician. It wasn't until she started vomiting in the mornings on a daily basis and then consistently for 3 days that the CT was ordered. Now my baby is going to be in a fight for her life! I may not respond or have a chance to get back online anytime soon but would appreciate any prayers you can send Mara's way. Thanks
