Default Prayers needed for Tech6

Many of you have read, that about 2 weeks ago Tech6 was involved in a car accident. He survied the accident, but while he was at the hospital x-rays showed a large mass in his left lung. The emergency room doctor strongly suggested that he have the mass checked out with a pulminary doctor. Yesterday, he had a doctors visit and they are concerned about the mass and he is having emergency surgery this morning to take out a limp node. This will determine the nature of the mass. The doctors believe it is either hotchkins, or non-hotchkins. One is more aggressive than the other and he is needing everyone to pray it is non-aggressive and is treatable. We will attempt to keep everyone posted as to the results of the surgery and the outcome of the biopsy.

The accident, while bad, was good in that this was discovered. Prayers sent!

Default Update: Tech6

I spoke to Tim's wife and he is resting well. According to the doctor he told them he was incouraged. However, The doctor wants to play it close to the vest, until the biopsy is returned before he is willing to give a prognosis and/or treatment.
Until then, continue to pray for both Tim and Patti.
