please just bare with me this may take a while lol. a few months ago we thought that my litle brother was going to have his leg amputated. but god pulled through and it was all called off, the day before the surgery!! he has a realy realy rare bone disease called mafookie syndrom. it gives him bone tumors and vascular tumors. bone tumors are like large or small lumps of cartlege( i think its cartlege) and at times can be very painfull. they can also become cancerous. thank god none of anthonys are at this piont. there is no cure and sometimes the tumors become to big and they hav to be romoved. this is a semi simple surgery but there is a 50% chance they will grow back. and vascular tumors are like little red dots on his skin and are DISAPERING!!! but recenly we have found out that his jionts in his leg are most likely not aliened right and can be dislocated very easily. he also has tumors in his arm spine, hand, foot fingers, and toes. we will be seeing a bone specialist soon and plaese pray that he wil get the help he needs and that nothing serios will be needed. THANKS for reading and praying god bless u all =)

I remember you telling me about that, Andrew, and how the surgery was called off and everything. Hopefully everything stays okay, but yeah, that has to be so hard on all of you! Anthony [and your family] are in my prayers!

well he went to day and they said that he most likely will need a amputation after all. but i was thinking why would he call it all off and then do it again. well his knee is useless and needs to be amputaded, and before they were going to do a below the knee amputationn so he would of ended up having 2 amputations instead of just one!

Wow... that's so sad. I'll be praying for him and all of you. And I guess that's good he called it off the first time so Anthony wouldn't have had to go through two amputations. But that is still so sad. =[ I'll be praying for you guys.

Oh wow. I'm so sorry about your brother. He'll be on my prayer list, and maybe, just maybe, God will put an end to the battle that your brother is waging. I'll keep your family in my prayers. =)
