Prayer Request


I thought I would share a prayer request concerning my Grandpa (Henry Bergen).

Prior to Jan. 25 the family began noticing that my Grandpa was not communicating quite right; he seemed to be having a hard time finding the right words to speak. On Monday the 25th the first of several CT scans was done and a tumor was located on the left side of his brain in the temporal area. After several weeks of appointments and waiting, imaging and waiting, the Lord graciously opened a door for him to go to Memphis, TN to possibly receive the needed surgery. Grandpa’s symptoms continue to worsen each day. At this point we do not know whether this is a malignant tumor or not. Technically, they are calling this a low-grade cerebral meningioma. The difficulty comes with the tumors size and especially its location.

As of right now my Grandpa and Grandma along with my Aunt Pam are traveling to Memphis, TN.

Your prayers would be much appreciated.

I've set up a website at CaringBridge.org to keep everyone up to date on what is happening.
