Mason in Surgery

Dr. Gallie called, they had room in the O.R. schedule, so Mason is having his enucleation today.

Please pray for comfort and peace for Leslie and Richard.
And please pray that all goes well for the Dr.'s involved.

We know Mason will live a wonderful, beautiful, full life even with one eye. But, knowing that really doesn't take away the sting of sorrow knowing your beautiful baby is about to have his eye removed.

Sweet Mason this morning:
