I have a neighbor who's friend's child is going through some pretty rough times.

His name is Micheal & he just turned 2 years old. After waking up 3 days in a row, vomiting, his parents took him to the doctor & after a couple visits, they did a CT scan & found a tumor in his brain. They believed it to be benign.

After a couple surgeries, they thought they removed the tumor, but now it appears to have doubled in size & his spinal fluid is gathering in his brain. They now think it's a malignant tumor.

They are still performing surgeries in hopes of getting rid of it completely, they'll know Friday if it's cancerous or not.

We are trying to get a fundraiser together for his family, maybe a spaghetti dinner & going to try & get some local bands to perform as well.

I can't even begin to think what they must be going through. Nothing is worse than your child being sick & there isn't anything you can do for them.

Please keep Micheal & his family in your prayers, they need all the faith they can get.

As a person who has gone through a similiar thing .. I can sympathaize with this family. My step-daughter had what is known as a medullablastoma which is a tumor of the brain stem. When they removed it .. it was the size of a tennis ball. Sadly, after two years she lost her life. But, when I hear of something like this, it is hard for me not to get emotional. My wife and I sent our hopes and prayers to this family. IF they want to talk or anything, please have them pm me here.

Thanks for all the kind words guys, I have an update, but unfortunately it's not good news.

It is malignant, as we were fearing.

Please continue to keep Micheal & his family in your prayers, they have a long road ahead of them.
