Catching Up

Hi Everyone,

My name is Megan Franks, wife to John Franks, daughter-in-law to Curt and Patti. I’m going to do my best to keep this blog updated with the current facts and prayer requests.

To catch you up, yesterday Curt Franks had an MRI. His test revealed a tumor in the left portion of his brain approximately 3cm in size. We do not know if it’s benign or not. We have been told both. He was checked into Maui Memorial Hospital last night. At this time, Curt is in the process of being MedVac over to Oahu. There he will get a biopsy, which will reveal better information as to what this tumor is. Patti and John will be on Oahu with Curt.

We ask for your prayers as we know they have the power to move mountains. Pray that Curt receives the proper care and good information as to what this tumor is. Pray that the Lord guide the minds and the hands of Curt’s doctors. Pray for peace for the family.

Curt is in good spirits. Making jokes with all and being his typical self.

  2. HI Curt & Patti & family

    much love to you from WA state. thank you so much Megan for getting this blog up so quickly so that those of us far away can stay informed & pray.

    I'm heading to Egypt next month to team teach the book of Isaiah, whose message resounds in my heart at this moment for you all. "Surely God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation." Is 12:2

    miss you & praying for you

  4. Dear Megan,
    Thanks so much for getting this going. I was hoping one of you would be able to do it, and am so glad you did not delay. It will spare Curt and Patti from having to tell the same story over and over again, and hopefully be a big source of encouragement knowing that so many love them and hold them up continuously before our Heavenly Father. I am so glad to hear that Curt is in good spirits. We caught them at home last night right before they were headed to the hospital, and his faith and trust in God were very evident even then, in the midst of the shock of the bad news. Curt and Patti's courage and strength will be welcome assets in the days to come as they get an understanding of the diagnosis and treatment. We surround them, and all of you, with our love, hugs, prayers and hopes for full recovery. We love you all very, very much and support you with our whole hearts. God be with you and touch Curt with healing.
    Much love,
    Karen and Joe
