the timster


About a month ago our family learned of some very devastating news. Our eleven month old nephew Timothy (Adam's brother's son) was diagnosed with Leigh's disease, a rare genetic disorder where the mitochondria of the cell does not produce enough energy for development and growth. There are no known cures so the disease is fatal. We don't know how long the Timster will be with us but he is covered in tons of love and prayers.

This past month has been filled with many tears. However whenever I think about the grave situation I can't help but pray. If you are the praying kind I would love it if you would keep Timmy in your prayers. Timmy's parents, Lara and Marshall have a blog set up with specific prayer requests and Timmy updates. I know they would love for you to read along on their journey and to leave a comment or two.

Many thanks, Britany.
