Praying for Cade

My friend, Cade, and his family is in need of some prayer, some love, and lots of God's grace right now. After a long time working with patches and eye glasses, it was discovered that all of his vision problems are being caused by a tumor at the base of his brain.

Four days after Christmas, three days after his little sister was born, and less than a month before his 5th birthday, Cade had brain surgery. The prognosis is good, and he's such a sweet, tough kid, but my heart is aching for him.

I've known Cade since he was 2 years old. Cade and his mom and dad ate lunch with us the month we moved to the Orange County. And then I got to help his mom out by hanging with Cade twice a week. Now-a-days, whenever he and hang out at Kids Klub or Church, I look forward to hearing his newest knock-knock jokes and having long conversations about superheros, Cade's own super-powers, Beatles trivia, or baseball.

I love Cade and so I letting all my friends know about him and what he's going through so they can stand behind him and his family and lift them up.

Here's a link to the CaringBridge page that his dad made for Cade to keep everyone updated: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/cader

Here's a great pic of Cade at two years old already showing off his awesome personality.

 

Here's another pic of Caders from the Lil' Jingles Christmas Party: I'm pretty sure he's telling me and Abby something I didn't know about the Beatles.
