Brain Cancer

A few weeks ago on the 4th of July, Jeremys cousin Geraldine and her family (husband and 2 daughters) were visiting her parents in Oregon. Geraldine lives in Sacramento now, and has no family near by. They went to her parents home for the holiday. As they were all sitting there at dinner in the 4th, her speech started to slur and she lost control of the left side of her body.

She was immediately rushed to the hospital where they found a tumor in her (right lobe?) brain the size of a golfball. They took her into emergency surgery the very next day. They removed her tumor, but had to wait a week or so to find out if it was cancerous...Geraldine is only like 24. After her tumor was removed, the same day she started have seizures. They put her on seizure medicine, but isn't able to drive for at least a year. Can you imagine having 2 little ones and not being able to drive?

After the surgery, she started staying at her parents home in oregon, and was planning on staying 4-6 weeks. Her mom is helping take care of the kids while Geraldine is recovering.

A couple weeks have gone by and her husband finally went back home to Sacramento. When he got home they had several messages from the hospital in Oregon. Apparently they were trying to get ahold of Geraldine. Her father (Jeremy's uncle) rushed her to the hospital. It turns out that Geraldine has a very agressive type of brain cancer and is going to have to undergo radiation and chemotherapy, among other things.

She will be going back to California now and her husbands mother is flying in from Argentina and will be staying with her and their family until October.

I can't even imagine the pain and heartache their family is going through. I know that the Lord will look out for them, and watch over them. I know that whatever happens in this situation is the Lord's will. He will take care of ALL of us either way. My prayers are with her and her family, and I have already put there name in at the San Diego Temple. If any of you feel inclined to pray for them or to enter their names in at your temple, all the support is appreciated!
