Please pray for Wilks Carter...

I friend of mines baby boy, Wilks Carter has a tumor in his brain over his left eye. This baby is only 10 months old. They did a CT scan last week and all the doctors said they thought it was a cancerous tumor. They are headed to Blair E. Batson this morning and will be there probably all week running tests. I ask that you please lift them up in your prayers. Pray that God would spare this child and shine down a miracle for all to see. To God be the glory...

This was the latest facebook message about Wilks:
Thanks for all the messages and calls today. This is the easiest way for me to keep everyone up to date. We did not get good news this morning from Wilks ct scan. We have been at Blair E Batson Hospital in Jackson all afternoon. The Dr's are confident that he has a cancerous tumor above his eye. We were sent back home for the weekend and go back first thing Monday morning for numerous tests to see the type and whats the best treatment. We are being told that we will be there most of the week. We will know alot more by the end of the week. Please continue to pray!

Below is a picture of Wilks and his dad watching tv.

Maximum prayers for the innocent.

Added to my prayer list. Keep the faith. God is great.

Sir, you and the family have my & my families prayers, I pray for a miracle for this young man, and as you said "God still performs miracles" every day. This lays heavy on my heart as I lost my daughter at the age of 3mths 20days to a heart defect. This tears you apart in so many ways but having the comfort of the Lord will guide you all through it, it did us :)

Praying for a full recovery. May GOD Bless Wilkes and his family!!!

Update on Wilks: bone scan and ct scan both confirm that the tumor is localized above the left eye and is nowhere else in his body. Very good news! We're staying the night at Blair E Batson tonight and will have a biopsy in the morning. Still expecting a miracle from the Lord above.

More answered prayers.. Keep them coming.. To God be the glory!

Great news Zack & will keep him in my prayers.

Continued Prayers.

Here is an update on Wilks that his dad (Casey) posted on facebook:

Update on Wilks: First of all, God is Good All the Time! Wilks has been such a big boy during this whole process. I am so proud to be his dad! The preliminary diagnosis is a histiocytosis which the dr's told us if it had to be malignant, this would be the best diagnosis. Treatment will not be nearly as harsh as with other types of cancer. Google it and check it out. We will have a bone-marrow test done at some point just to make sure that there is nothing found there either. Thanks for all of the prayers. Keep them coming!

Got em Zack.

Prayers sent. It breaks my heart when a child is sick. May God bless and heal this child and give the family the faith and strength they need to endure this!!

prayers are still there, may God bless you all.

Another update from Casey:

We are back home and Wilks is doing great! He is still a little out of it & sore in his chest from the port. It feels so good to be home and back with Lillian. We go back to Jackson Monday for the Bone Marrow test which he will be sedated for. The official diagnosis is expected later in the week & chemo will start immediately. Thanks again for all the thoughts & prayers. Our family is literally overwhelmed with the love & support from so many but please continue because my Wilks has a tough road ahead. Prov 3:5

Mighty glad he's doing so well.

Another update on Wilks.. See below:

"Doctors confirmed this morning that Wilks has Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) & it is in the Bone Marrow. This does not change how he will be treated, just means in different areas. All of his skin problems are associated with his LCH. Chemo starts today. He will have treatments once a week for 6 wks, then be re-evaluated. Treatments are one syringe & only last a few minutes, so that's a blessing. Treatments will last atleast one year. Wilks, Casey, & Rebecca are now beginning a long journey...Let's call out to JESUS & PRAY them through!!"

Please continue to lift this family up in your prayers. I know they appreciate them. The Lord is faithful to answer our prayers... Thank you for all your prayers and support so far.

James 5:16
16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Do they need bone marrow donors?

Not that I know of... This update is all I have heard. They set up a facebook page for him here:
