I'm gonna copy and past from Motown for those of you that don't go there. Thoughts and prayers would be appreciated.

*posted yesterday*

Please pray for my nephew. He's 1.5 months old. Today he went in for a check up and the doctor didn't like something. He got sent over to Saint Joe's in Pontiac where tests were ran on him all day. Finally they gave up and sent him to Children's Hospital of Detroit. From what they can tell, he has a massive sac of fluid in his chest. It's taking up the entire right side of his chest pushing his right lung so that it's in the middle of his chest and somehow it collapsed his left lung. It's also pushing on his heart. I know he's in the ICU right now, but that's it. My sister is obviously taking it hard and getting info on what is going on is hard since she's in a hospital with no cell signal and she doesn't want to leave for fear of missing something. Anyway. Just please pray for him (Nickolas is his name) and the rest of the family. Thanks to anyone who today made my day better by keeping me busy even though no one's known about what was going on.


*Posted today*

Ok. update. They found it to not be a sack of fluid, but a massive tumor. They are now doing test to see if it is cancerous. If it is, he'll die. If it isn't, he will go into surgery to have the tumor removed, but because of where it is located, there's a good chance he will die. They are trying to find out as fast as they can, then do the surgery either today or tomorrow. The good thing for my sis and bro-in-law is that they have one of the best insurance's you can have, so the question of covering the expense, or the doctor refusing to do the surgery because of insurance is non existent. And to top it all, I just found out my mom had a minor heart attack


been a bad 2 days. Please pray not for me, but for my nephew and mom.

newest update. They can't test the tumor without pulling it out, so either tomorrow or the next day he will go in for surgery. They will then test the tumor to see if it is cancerous. I'll update you guys when I know exactly of the surgery. The doctors were hopeful, saying that the odds of it being cancerous are little to none, but there is a small chance.

Sorry to hear about the little one. I know how it is.....my little brother had a cancerous brain tumor at the age of 3. He's doing great now. One good thing is he's at Children's Hospital, they will do all they can to make him better.

Ok. newest update. Nickolas will be going into surgery at 0900 this morning. They tried to find out if the tumor was cancerous, but couldn't without removing it, so they are going in. I should know what is going on by approximately noon from what I'm being told. I'll let you know the instant something else comes up.

The surgery is over. I don't have any statistics, but the doctors said he should be perfectly fine. The tumor itself wasn't attached to anything, so they said that virtually elinimates any posibility that it's cancerous. It's still going to be tested to be safe. Right now they are closing him up and all that other neat jazz. Thanks to everyone who prayed and cared about this whole thing. My sister and bro-in-law also thank you very much.
