Say a little prayer

My Dad is off to meet with Dr Charles Teo tomorrow. Dr Teo is has a highly regarded international reputation in the treatment of adult and paediatric brain tumors, skull base surgery, neuroendoscopy, and functional neurosurgery.

If you could say a prayer for my Dad and Dr Teo I would be ever so grateful. We are praying that Dr Teo can help my Dad with his condition. In the past few weeks, Dad has deteriorated and is now in a wheelchair after losing full function of his legs. It's devastating to see my Dad in that condition. He is only 57 and was surfing everyday a few years ago.

Keep him in your prayers.

  1. So does your father have a brain tumor? I apologize- I am fairly new to following your blog.

    My father had one when I was very little but sadly, technology wasn't what it is today. They were never able to get all of it out. Things are so much different now and doctors and surgeons are better equipped. I will be praying hard for you and your family at this time.
