Pray for Junior.


Junior is a good friend a mine. He's a refugee from cameroon that's been in karlsruhe for a while. he's a good contact of mine at the camp, is always ready to help others out, play soccer, or just talk about important stuff. we've had some good discussions about racism and history.

Junior told me on friday that he will be having surgery tommorrow, Monday, July 3rd. His eyesight has been getting worse lately, so he went to a doctor to get it checked out. It turns out that he has a tumor in his head, which is pushing against his eyes. I don't know specifics, but he'll be in surgery tommorrow.

I'm going to try to get there tommorrow before surgery or to be with him. Please pray for him if you have a chance.

Update*** Monday, July 3rd -

I went to the eye clinic this morning and found junior at the end of his first round of tests. It turns out that they just did tests today. He'll be going back tommorrow for an x-ray and will then meet with the neurologist. right now it's really not clear if he'll actually have to have an operation. The nurses couldn't give me any real answers today. It all depends on what the neurologist says. He's doing well, but is still stressed out and scared of the operation. I'll keep you posted.
