Hello to those I Love,
 
As expected my Mom did not take the news about my brother very well. She was complaining of dizzness all day Thursday. On Thanksgiving at around 6:00 she fell down and broke her left arm in two places. My younger sister brought her home on Friday and got her an appointmtnt for today to determine what is to be done to correct the breaks. The ER in Louisiana;were my sister lives, could not set the break due to swelling. They imobalized it and reffered her to her doctor in Pensacola.

I know God doesn’t put more on any of us than we can stand, but sometimes I wish he didn’t trust me with so much. It is tough being so far away and feeling so helpless.
 
Blessings,

Thank you for your prayers and support. John A. Garner passed away yesterday, Sunday November 25, 2007. The Good News. Allan was saved several years and had accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. He was an active Christian MD who donated his organs so others might live and see. More than 70 people will have a wonderful Christmas. And one will see God’s creation for the first time! Praise be to Him! Please keep Brandy, Allen’s wife of three months, Dee, and her parents Ryan & Donna Garner and the rest of the family in your prayers.

In Jesus Name we pray and are grateful!

God is performing a miracle in this little girl’s life! Although she was diagnosed with Stage I glioma, the tumor is small, slow-growing, and will start a chemo regimen. Yesterday she had surgery to have a shunt placed in her brain to help with drainage.
 
Following is a description of the biopsy that was performed on Monday. The second message was just received a little while ago. Thank you for these prayers!

Message #1 (Monday, ll/12/07)November 12, 2007 at 03:05 PM EST
Our family thanks everyone for their thoughts and prayers. Connor underwent a sterotactic brain biopsy today and is in recovery. Her initial (frozen) biopsy revealed a benign glioma. Gliomas are graded I-IV with I and II being benign and grade III and IV being anaplastic (malignant). Grade I and II brain tumors are cancer yet benign. Due to the location of the tumor, surgery is not recommended yet chemotherapy is needed. Connor’s brain swelling is stable now and she will probably have a shunt put in on Wednesday. This shunt directs excess fluid to the abdomen. This is good news in light of the possibilities. Thank you again for your continued prayers. We are so blessed to have such good friends.

God Bless you all,
The Landis Family

P.S. Connor is back in her room, intensive care is not needed for her recovery. Please, please continue to pray that the swelling goes down and for continued good news. More details to follow later.

Message #2 (Wednesday, 11/14/07)
Connor has returned from her surgery and the procedure went well. She is in some pain but this is being managed. The doctor expects her to have “some” immediate improvement in her cognitive abilities. She has asked for food which we know to be a good sign for sweet Connor. We thank God for his guiding hand throughout this procedure and going forward with her treatment. Thank you for all the love and continued support. Further updates to follow.

Love in Christ,
The Landis Family

Connor Landis, age 10, is a 5th grader at Frederica Academy on St. Simons Island. She underwent a biopsy yesterday that determined she has a large, benign tumor located in the middle of her brain.

Due to its size and location, the tumor is inoperable. Chemo is to start as soon as possible in hopes of shrinking the tumor. The outlook at this time is very uncertain.

We know the power of prayer and we ask that you blanket this young girl with your prayers. Remember, too, her parents Cindy and Mark and sister Bridget when you pray.

We saw the Dr. yesterday and Vicki has a pretty new purple cast. She is not having much pain and we are grateful the Dr. said there was no need for surgery or pins. Must be checked again in 2 weeks to make sure it is healing correctly or that could still happen so continue to pray for healing. We are so grateful for this not being more serious than it is. Now please remember nurse John that I can learn to be a better servant. What a lesson!!!

Thank you and Decolores!!
