God give us strength

Today we have gone to see Dr. Al-Mefty to talk about what route they will take for surgery. He told us he would approach it through the mouth. This approach would expose the larger portion of the mass.Then if all goes well there would be another approach from the right side in a few days. It has been confirmed that it is a chordoma. This news we didn't want to hear but God has other plans and he will help us deal with it at this time. There is alot of apprehension at this time, knowing all the dangers involved with the surgery, we ask that all lift up prayers for us throughout the day tomorrow.
Surgery is schedule for 8:30 am Tuesday Sept., 30th.

Just read your update. Know that there are a lot of people praying for Hayden and the whole family. God is in CONTROL. He knows your fear, heartache. I don't know what else to say except that I feel your hearts. I know that they are breaking, but God promised that he would never leave us. I pray for peace and comfort for the family as they have to wait. Just call his name Jesus.

Love you all!!

Dave, Christy, and all:
Our hearts ache for all of you. Hopefully, you can find some kind of comfort in the fact that God has a plan and that there are hundreds of us out here praying for Hayden and you as well. I'll be praying for Him to guide Dr. Al-Mefty's hands and I also have to pray that He will guide Hayden's anesthesia providers while they care for him. I know that he will have the best of care!
Please tell Hayden that there are several fish in our lake with his name on them and they can't wait for him to catch them!!!!
We love you guys,
Ken and Cathy

Just a quick note to say again we are praying for you guys. I can only imagine how your hearts hurt. But I do know a loving GOD who comforts all. What a blessing to know that HE is on your side.
Happy Birthday Donita. I am praying that GOD gives you that very "special" gift we discussed. Sending a big hug for all of you.
Love you bunches,
Mary Anna

So many people are praying for you, I hope you can feel these prayers, some from people who you've never met but are touched by your story. God is a great big God and I know this is in his plan even though we don't understand. As we went to bed tonight, Landon and Kenley prayed for Hayden and the doctors tomorrow. I hope God gives you a peace tomorrow that you can't understand. Love, Rosie

Sorry to hear about the chordoma. You don't know me, but I am a fellow chordoma patient. I also had mine removed through the roof of the mouth, 6 years ago. Early on I found an excellent online group to help me with the questions and fears. It's called the "Chordoma support group" on msn.com. I've heard lots of people on there comment about how good Dr Al-Mefty is, and I've read many chordoma reports that were written by him. I believe you're in good hands. Good luck.

To the whole family, I lift y'all up in prayer that any fear shall be cast away and that the holy wave of peace come upon you. This is not just your child, this is God's precious baby boy! How awesome is that. His grace is sufficient. I hope you can feel the angels surrounding you tomorrow with all the love and prayers from across the country holding you up, strong, in Jesus' name. I can't wait to hear the praise report! With all my love.
