Lexi Needs Our Prayers

Back in December, our sweet cousin Lexi had brain surgery because she was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. Because of where the tumor was located, it was a very difficult surgery for the neurologists to perform. However, they removed what they thought was all of the tumor. Lexi had her repeat MRI done today, and a small piece of the old tumor showed up (from what I understand). If it does not grow, the doctors do not think it will affect her, because it is no longer pressing on the brain stem. However, another surgery is a possibility. The other option is to wait another 3 months and see if it grows. Her doctor wants to go in and remove it now. From what I gathered from my aunt, they're going to wait it out and see what happens. This child has been through so much in the past 3 months. Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers as they get through this difficult time. I know she will be okay...it's just another bump in the road!
