Hello All,
I'm sorry for such a mass email, but my family is in serious need of prayers.
Bobby and I received news on Monday that our unborn baby has a tumor.
As of now it is stable in size. If it begins to grow however, the baby has a 25% chance of survival.
We are begging all of you to say a prayer right now for our baby and to activate any prayer chains you may be part of that we may be blessed with a safe delivery the first week of August and a healthy baby.
Thank you so very much in advance and we will keep you all informed as much as possible.
With hope,
Mary and Bobby
