Prayers For Kristoffer

I am sending out a prayer request for our cousin.

First I just want to point out that in our family if someone is related in any way, no matter how far removed or even only related to an ex spouse or kids, they are all considered cousins. So with that said;

Last Wednesday the 21st, 5 year old (I think or maybe 6)Kristoffer had a fever and said his stomach hurt. His mom took him to Urgent Care at 7p.m. They did an x-ray of his abdomen and saw a mass but didn't know what it was so they sent them to the ER. They did a CAT scan and found a tumor larger than a grapefruit on his left kidney and several walnut size tumors on his liver.

This is terrible and painful for anyone to endure but even more devastating when it is a child. We all question God when things like this happen and we will never know why or what his plans are. All we can do is pray. Please pray for his healing, for the doctors to have the wisdom that they need to assist in his healing, for the side effects to be bearable for him, and for his parents. In a situation like this, their strength can only come from God.

Thank you all.

I never got her email but they are back here now. audrie said on her blog that the scan showed his tumor is already breaking up and he hasn't had any nausea or vomitting...so it looks good! =) keep asking for prayers because I really believe that they are making this horrible thing bearable for him and the whole family.
