HORRIBLE NEWS - Please pray.

I don't quite know how to say this. But we have some very bad news. My precious little boy, Ian, has a brain tumor. He acted a little sick on Wednesday, and grew increasingly ill on Thursday. By Thursday night, he was lethargic and just acted "off". I knew something was wrong. I then noticed that his "soft spot" was bulging, and we took him to urgent care. They transported him by ambulance to an excellent children's hospital, where a CT scan showed a very large mass on his brain. An MRI was done, and the neuro surgeon did immediate emergency surgery. He has a tumor that is the size of 2/3 of his brain. They were able to remove half of it in surgery, but the prognosis is not good. The tumor has grown "tentacles" into Ian's brain. I am absolutely heartbroken and beside myself. It seems like a bad dream. I feel like someone kicked me in the chest, and I just want to die. Please, please, pray for my little boy. Pray for the best outcome, even if that means that he dies, rather than lives as a vegetable. Oh God...I can't believe this.
