A diagnosis

Caleb's dear Dad and the girls' Grandpa Wilson has been diagnosed with an anaplastic astrocytoma, a malignant brain tumor. He begins radiation treatment next week.

We love you, Dad. All our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry. Hopefully the radiation has a positive outcome. It is great to have the gospel in our lives though, and know that this life is not the end.

Sorry to hear about your dad-in-law, Katie. We will keep him in our prayers. Tell him its okay to watch all the tv he wants and to use this time to notice the little things each day that make him smile. Hopefully that will be something to get him through each day. Tell Caleb we love him.
