I am not putting up a Phriday foto today. Really I need any and all traffic that should hit this site to pray and to refer this to anyone else that is a believer and ask them to pray.

Caelan Cross is a wonderful child, whom I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting. I take the word of his father, Alan Cross, on the beauty of his son.

Caelan was diagnosed with cancer as a 5 month old child and had it surgically removed from his side, along with a rib or two, if I remember correctly.

The doctors said that if this cancer ever returned it would be a hard thing to overcome and the odds of his survival would not be good.

At his recent 3 month scan, a swollen lymph node was discovered behind his heart. The doctors, because of the previous cancer, are treating this very seriously and have scheduled a dangerous biopsy next week. If they are unable to get at it with a probe, they will have to open Caelan’s chest right then.

When dealing with aggressive cancer, it is good to have aggressive doctors. This does not change all of the emotions the family is going through. Also, Caelan, who has been through all manner of medical procedures, from surgery to chemotherapy, faces a yet undetermined round today and beyond.

I ask for you to please pray for Caelan, his parents, Alan and Erika, and siblings, whom I sadly confess I don’t know their names.

You can check for ongoing requests and leave comments for the Cross family at Alan’s blog: Downshore Drift.
