Fragile Tuesday
This post is from Sara, a friend of the Whitts:
This morning my mom came over to watch the kids for a little while so I could run an errand. She told me about a little bird that was across the street from their house. That morning, my dad saw it wounded on the ground, wings flapping with urgency. He picked up the bird tenderly, and brought it home. This struck me at my core.
Is there anything more fragile than a wounded bird?
Tuesday Whitt was diagnosed with cancer on Sunday. She has a tumor o n her adrenal gland. Tests are being run as we speak to find out the severity of the tumor and whether it has spread. There have been ultrasounds, biopsies, and a bone marrow aspiration. What is known now is that she will need 6 rounds of chemotherapy. If the cancer is stage 3, it will be outpatient. If the cancer is stage 4 it will be inpatient. When there is more to share, it will be posted here.
Tuesday is being such a strong little bird, but she and the whole family need us to take them up in our warm hands and hold them tightly. Please know that all your love, thoughts and prayers are so needed and so appreciated.

Janice Greenlee from Topeka, Kansas…a friend of Tom and Ann Bozeman. I’ve sent a prayer request to everyone in my address book for peace and healing for Tuesday. Always remember she is a child of God and is in His protective hands FOREVER! Peace and comfort to the family as they continue down this foreign path of life. I’ll be watching the blog and continuing to pray!
Praying for strength and energy for sweet Tuesday (little birds are remarkably resilient, and bounce back from “falls” with incredible loft), wisdom and steadiness for her doctors’ hands, and for peace and faith for the Whitt family.
Love, light and calm are being sent your way.
I am praying for Tuesday. Hugs and prayers. Carolyn Wing grandma to Laura Stage IV Neuroblastoma carepages.com page name LauraVDB
