Please pray for Mason
Mason is still near Cook Children's Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas, staying at the Ronald McDonald House.  The plans are to begin the process for the bone marrow transplant on December 5th to eliminate health problems caused by the Waikott-Aldrich Syndrome.  Laura's cousin, Carol, has done an excellant job keeping folks updated through a CAREPAGE (www.carepages.com for MasonFernando). Your continued thoughts and prayers are most greatly appreciated.
