Meet the Whitaker family. We were lucky enough to have met them when we made the move to Anson 4 years ago. They are a family that is near and dear to our hearts. Hadly is 10 and in the 5Th grade. Late last week she began to have problems controlling the right side of her body. Her speech is still in tact and she can function however "something" just wasn't right. Hadly underwent a CAT scan and several MRI's and the doctors found a mass/lump located in the back of her neck, positioned on several of her vertebrae. She will be going to Cooks for surgery on Tuesday and the doctors believe she has destruction of the bone in at least 4 vertebra that is visible. She could have rods, pins or a bone fusion, all of which are uncertain at this time until the surgery actually takes place. The Whitaker family has asked specifically for prayers that the mass is just a cyst and not a tumor and that there are no damaged nerves involved because of its existence. Please pray for the surgeon Dr. Richard Roberts and his "A TEAM" staff as they take sweet Hadly into their care and please pray for the continued strength of her mother (Jeannifer) and her daddy (Donald) and little brother (Wyatt). A lump wells up in the back of my throat as I write about this sweet girl and what she is going thru. She is a child, and children should never have to face this kind of uncertainty, but God's mighty power is awesome and I know He can and will heal this child. I ask anyone who reads this post to please lift this precious family up in prayer.
