Prayer request for Sydney Dungan who is having surgery at 8:00 am tomorrow to remove the tumor. Excerpt from Dads Diary today - This page was last updated on 10/21/03 07:08 PM.

SURGERY TIME!!

10:56 AM

Well, I guess my rest and relaxation is over. Sydney's surgery has been scheduled for tomorrow. We have a pre-surgery appointment this afternoon. It appears it is already time to worry but until she takes her nap I am going to enjoy every second of her.

6:50 PM 10/21/2003

After another very busy day we are finally home. Sydney's surgery is scheduled for 8:30 AM which we are very thankful for. We will be arriving at Cook's at 6:30AM in preparation for her surgery. Having the surgery that early in the morning we won't have to keep food and fluids away from her for too long of a period of time. She loves her milk cup in the morning but that is a battle that we have become used to. The surgery is expected to be fairly simple for that of a neuroblastoma patient. It is not touching any organs or arteries so the theory is that it will be fairly quick. The surgeon suspects that he will only be working on her for a couple of hours. He will remove her tumor, her left adrenal gland, several lymph nodes and of course any other evidence of tumor he finds. Based on the CT scan he is very comfortable with the procedure and hopes that once he gets in there will be few surprises. Unfortunately, you just never know with neuroblastoma. Please wish us luck and keep our little princess in your prayers. They seem to be working.

Until the next time......

Father of 2-year-old cancer patient raising awareness 10:05 PM CDT on Tuesday, October 21, 2003

By JANET ST. JAMES / WFAA-TV

When deadly cancer strikes close to home, families often want to help but don't know how.

A North Texas father is trying to make a difference with a plan that could be called "$10 million in 10 days."

At age two, there are many days where Sydney Dungan just doesn't feel good. It's largely the result of aggressive chemotherapy.

"At first we thought she just had a cold," said father Mark Dungan. "She was spiking some high fevers ... we took her in to our pediatrician and they watched her very closely, and then one day - sitting up here on the couch - (they) decided that she wasn't going to walk anymore."

Please pray for a successful surgery tomorrow.

May the blessings of heaven rest upon you!

Dear Angels...please stay by Sydney's side and care for her through this illness, please help her recover. God, one so young is in your care, please give her life to the parents you chose for her. Thank you and amen!

I'm adding Sydney to my prayers.
Cook's Childrens Hospital is a great place. That's where my grand daughter had her umbilical cord blood bone marrow stem cell transplant almost 2 years ago. Roni's doing great and I'm praying for Sydney to get her portacath out some day, too!

Prayers for the child and family.

May God guide the hand and mind, strengthen the heart, guard the soul, and quicken the recovery.
