A Special Request for You

I’m not a super-religious person, but I’m asking for your prayers. Our good friend and Godfather to Sidney was diagnosed with a brain tumor back in April of this year. Peter is the 33 year old loving husband to my best friend and an amazing father to two year old Tysen (Jackson’s best buddy) and brand new baby Luke (only three weeks old).

Peter completed his radiation therapy this summer and the tumor appeared to be staying the same size. On Saturday morning, he fell at home and was rushed to the ER with stroke-like symptoms. They took him to Mass General via helicopter and performed emergency surgery. He’s currently in the ICU and fighting for his life.

I don’t even know what to say. This is the best family you will ever meet, the type of friends who would give you the shirt off their back. I feel helpless and don’t know how to help, but if you could remember them in your prayers I would appreciate it. We need a miracle here, if anyone deserves it- it’s Peter. Thank you.

Edited to add: You can “like” the Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/FriendsofPeter to find out how to help, thanks :)
