My precious Brian

This past week, my grandson, Brian who is 3 years old, has been diagnosed with Histiocytostis, a rare blood disorder that occurs in about 1 in 200,000 children. This involves an abnormal increase in the number of immune cells in the body called Histiocytes. It has been thought of as a cancer-like condition, but actually is an autoimmune phenomenon in which immune cells mistakenly attack the body rather than fight infections.

We appreciate your prayers at this time. He still has some more tests this week to conclude that this is truly what our Brian has. Be in prayer for the doctors and the wisdom to help diagnose what route they will take with Brian. Also pray for my daughter and her husband as they minister to their son, Brian needs.

In Christ love,
Betsy
