URGENT PRAYER NEEDED for my Dad, John Degnan


PLEASE PRAY for my Dad & Mom:
(John & Dianne & the Degnan Family)

In short~ A spot showed up on an MRI on Dad's brain stem, on Wednesday. This is the cause of some tracking/ focus problems most recently that he had come up with his left eye & some shaking in his mouth & jaw area in the previous 3 weeks or so. God knows all of these details & exactly what is to come. We all need His strength right now & support of dear friends. This is very hard & came on so fast. Mom needs prayer & strength from supportive friends. We want her to be strong for dad & the coming tests & treatment plans.

Please PRAY for the wisdom of the Dr's & neurosurgeon/s & most definitely for the strength of my mom & family to help... For Healing & Peace. This incredible & most amazing man I've ever known. Dad is strong & will fight this, he will get 2nd & 3rd opinions & work with whatever treatment plan. Most importantly we need to Trust God. He is in control & this is the first thing Dad said. We still do not know what the "spot" is, but it is in a hard part of the brain stem to operate & has clearly effected these very sensitive places. Medical technology has come a long way & we do have time. Time is most definitely a gift in itself, we seem to take that for granted when everything is going well. It's been a VERY emotional week here for my entire family, it's hard being away & hard being there amidst. WE LOVE THIS MAN God has blessed us with for so many years! We do not want suffering, we do understand that none of us are promised tomorrow. It's all hard to grasp... very hard, only in his strength, we are not alone & will fight this fight.

Thanks for your prayers, support & LOVE for my family.
GOD BE WITH US TODAY & ALWAYS...

Bon
