Little Sarah needs our prayers!

A little girl Nathan went to preschool with last year is very sick. Doctors aren't sure yet whether she has a brain tumor or if it is a mass (vascular). She started vomiting and had a really bad headache last week and over the weekend they found the mass. She is at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville. A shunt was placed in her head today to relieve the pressure from her brain. More testing will be done tomorrow. Please pray for her!

UPDATE!!! 4/21/2010...Awesome news on little Sarah! Doctors saw no sign of tumor or anything vascular! He said sometimes they never know whatcaused it unless it was viral, but what happened was the cerebellumswelled and blocked the drainage of fluid. The cerebellum is still swollen so the shunt will remain until all the swelling is gone. Theysaid it could take a week or maybe longer. They will continue to runtests but she will be there until the swelling is gone. This is great news even though we don't know what caused the cerebellum to swell.Thanks to all for your many prayers!!
