Yesterday afternoon, my dad noticed Andrew was dragging his left leg a little bit. They called the doctor and were told to go ahead and take him to All Children's. They did another MRI, but like the first one, Andrew couldn't make it all the way through. From the few pictures they were able to get last night, they doctors concluded there is a large tumor on the right side of his brain, which is affecting the left side of his body.
I just got off the phone with my dad who said that the doctors have sedated Andrew in order to take pictures of not only his brain, but his spine as well. This process will take 3 hours. After that, we will know more.
Andrew is scared. My mom is tired. I'm confused. But the Dorsey family knows that Jesus will heal Andrew and he will gain full recovery of his left side.
We need you to pray! We thank you for your prayers so far. They mean so much. But today, more than ever, we need prayer. Pray for healing and peace.
I will keep you updated.

ReplyDeletehe Dorsey family knows that Jesus will heal Andrew and he will gain full recovery of his left side. amen amen amen
My scripture today was 'make you fishers of men'. I shared with your mother two days ago that this was placed on my heart for Andrew. I'm sending the prayer that many of us are praying over Andrew...

ReplyDeleteFather, in the Name of Jesus, I confess Your Word concerning healing. As I do this, I believe and say that Your Word will not return to You void, but will accomplish what it says it will. Therefore, I believe in the Name of Jesus that Andrew is healed, according to 1 Peter 2:24. It is written in Your Word that Jesus Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses. Therefore, with great boldness and confidence I say on the authority of that written Word that Andrew is redeemed from the curse of sickness, and he refuses to tolerate its symptoms.
ReplyDeleteSatan, I speak to you in the Name of Jesus and say that your principalities, powers, your spirits who rule the present darkness, and your spiritual wickedness in heavenly places are bound from operating against Andrew in any way. Andrew is the property of Almighty God, and He will give you no place in his life. Andrew dwells in the secret place of the Most High God. Andrew abides, remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty, whose power no foe can withstand.
Now, Father, because Andrew reverence and worships You, he has the assurance of Your Word that the angel of the Lord encamps around about him and delivers him from every evil work. No evil shall befall him, no plague or calamity shall come near his dwelling. Andrew confesses the Word of God abides in him and delivers to him perfect soundness of mind and wholeness of body and spirit from the deepest parts of his nature in his immortal spirit even to the joints and marrow of his bones. That Word is medication and life to his flesh for the law of the Spirit of life operates in him and makes Andrew free from the law of sin and death.
Andrew has on the whole armor of God, and the shield of faith protects him from all the fiery darts of the wicked. Jesus is the High Priest of his confession, and Andrew holds fast to his confession of faith in Your Word. Andrew stands immovable and fixed in full assurance that he has health and healing now in the Name of Jesus.
amen amen amen
Oh sweet heart... we will pray! I am overcome with emotion for all of you. Nancy from OHIO
ReplyDeleteDear Lord, Please help our little Andrew. Protect him from all evil and remove that mass. Heal him we ask in Jesus name... Amen

I heard about your brother through Angela, another blogging friend, yesterday. I have been praying for Andrew and the rest of the family since. I awoke in the night and had a great sense of Andrew's fear so I am praying mightily that God will comfort him and give all of you the peace you need right now.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you all!
Trudy from Minnesota
To the poster Angela, I agree with you in Jesus name that Andrew will be healed and God will receive all the honor and glory!! I am agreeing with you that the Holy Spirit will comfort this family and that all will witness God do great and mighty things!! This family has been under attack long too long! God has a great big Miracle and many blessings coming their way!! Jesus said by His stripes we are healed. Andrew be healed in Jesus Mighty Name!!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you!!!
What a difficult and trying time for your family. My heartfelt prayers are with you as you go through this dark valley.
ReplyDeleteWords are failing me, as I am just now hearing about Andrew's condition. My prayers are with your family, and with this brave little boy. May you feel God present with you through this.
ReplyDeleteOur family will be lifting yours up.
I pray the drs can quickly determine what is going on and what the next step will be, then safely and effectively take it. I know your mom is so tired, and I pray for her to find rest.
ReplyDeleteI pray for Andrew not to be scared (My husband is a grown up and he couldn't stay in the MRI machine either!). And for Jesus to draw you all in closely during this time, that your faith can be strengthened and renewed.
Audra, please tell your mom that we are lifting you all up in prayer! Give her a hug from "Runner Mom" and let her know how heavy my heart is! Going to the scriptures now to find God's beautiful words of hope and wisdom--Psalm 46:1-3.
ReplyDeleteMuch Love,
Susan
Praying for you all in Nebraska.

2This what the LORD says, he who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it--the LORD is his name: 3Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.
I am praying for Andrew and all involved in his treatment.
ReplyDeleteIf you contact Edie at http://richgifts.blogspot.com she will make a prayer button for andrew. She will not charge. Then we can all pick it up and put it on our blogs requesting prayer on his behalf. It will make it easier to storm the heavens on his behalf.

Dear precious, gracious heavenly Father. You are my daddy and you're the great physician. Please father, heal Andrew's body and may we get a good report from the doctors. If there is a mass Lord, let it be benign and operable. Send only the best physicians for his care. For Melanie and the family Lord, be their peace, peace that surpasses all understanding. Let them feel your peace now more than ever. Jesus, you are our intercessor, please hear our prayers. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
ReplyDeleteOh, Audra and Melanie...you have many, many of us lifting precious Andrew up to the Lord for healing, for complete recovery. There is power in prayer...I pray in the name of Jesus that Andrew will be healed, that the tumor will shrink to nothing, that he will regain all abilities that are hindered right now. I pray for God's hand to direct the physicians as they care for Andrew. I pray that we will see a miracle in Andrew's healing. Precious Jesus, listen to the cries of your children as they call our to you for Andrew. Praise God in all things...He will never forsake you. God bless your family, I pray, for peace, for comfort, for increased faith. Bless you! Mary

ReplyDeleteWe have your brother, your mom, dad and YOU covered in prayer today.

He said, “Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the Lord says: Do not be afraid! Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 2 Chron. 2-:12

You are Jehovah Rapha our Healer...You are HEALING and we pray Your healing touch over the right side of Andrew's brain and the left side of his body. LORD GOD, we thank You that no weapon formed against Andrew shall prosper. We thank you that Your word is clear that "nothing by any means shall harm him". Heal Andrew LORD and he shall be healed. Save Andrew LORD and he shall be saved.
ReplyDeleteAbba, we pray for peace for Andrew and his family. We pray where fear is that it would be cast down with Your perfect love. We pray for strength where fatigue has set in and we pray for Your wisdom and guidance through the power of Your Holy Spirit to lead the doctors, nurses and medical people that are working with Andrea.
He is Your child and he is washed in the BLOOD OF THE LAMB! HALLELUJAH!

Thank you for updating this. I don't blame Andrew, I don't like small enclosed spaces so I couldn't make it thru an MRI either, unless it was an open MRI.

Thank you for the update, Dear. Praying for his healing, for peace and no fear for you all, in Jesus name.
