Another important prayer request.

We would like Kyrie's blog readers to find a moment today to say a prayer for little Edouard Chartier (pronounced "Edward Shar-Tee-ay").

Edouard is 6 years old and lives with his family in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I received an e-mail this morning from Jill Hunter, the sister of Edouard's aunt:

[Edouard] woke this week barely able to walk, throwing up profusely, and unable to recognize his sister.  They took him to the doctor to find that he has an orange-sized tumor in his brain.  They live in Montreal, Quebec where they have socialized health care, which hasn’t proven to be very good to their family in the past.  Please pray for him and the family ...  Thank you and pass this on to anyone else you know who prays regularly, if you would.

And ...  he is currently in surgery today, Friday, March 12, 2010.  They expect his surgery to take 10 hours. And it is likely that he will need further surgeries in the near future.  

Once again, I know that our hearts hang so unbearably heavy for the Chartier family because we know. We know this. Again, trying to steer away from fearful thoughts and instead focusing on hope and complete healing. Let's transform any anxious energy into staunch spiritual support that will reach from wherever you are to the very room where Edouard is right now.

I have asked Jill to keep us posted, so we will let you know any information that the family would like to share as soon as we have it.
