What is wrong with 9/11????

I got an update from Dorian today:

"I wanted to give everyone an update on Tyler. The cat scan did reveal swelling in his brain so a spinal tap was done today. The swelling can be indicative of viral spinal meningitis or a brain tumor. If this is a brain tumor, Tyler will need a bone marrow transplant. Please send him all your best thoughts and prayers. We need this to be meningitis. Bryan, please feel free to spread this message to the team. We need all the hope everyone can send us.
Dorian"

This is not the news I am hoping for especially on 9/11. I am praying this to be meningitis because a brain tumor is just bad news. I registered in the bone marrow registry and I know it's not easy to find a match. I hope the little kid is ok.

Prayers for Tyler

I got an email today from my teammate Miss Dori today that Tyler may have a brain or spinal cord tumor.

"Hey backbone! Your prayers and good thoughts seem to have worked for Stephanie's dad. Can I ask you to do the same for Tyler. He has been feeling dizzy for a few days and his dad took him to the doctor yesterday. The doctor thought it might be an inner ear infection but the symptoms are similar to the symptoms of a brain or spinal cord tumor. He had a cat scan yesterday and his parents were called today and told to bring him back in for another cat scan because the one he had yesterday showed some abnormalities. Please hold Tyler in your thoughts and prayers! We hope that this is just an ear infection. This little boy deserves a break. Thanks so much.
Dorian"

I question why a 6 years old kid has to go thru all these drama. I am hoping this is just an inner ear infection and nothing else.
