Tim Jackson - He'll live on forever in our hearts
Donation protected
On February 11th, Amber (Tim's wife) got a call from Tim’s work saying he had a seizure (he does not have a history of seizures). They did a CT of his head and found a mass on his parietal lobe.
Tim is now on the tele unit and there have been no changes in his current condition. He continues to get medications that will prevent the seizures from happening and also keep the swelling down in his brain. He has a lot of doctors on his team (neurosurgeon, neurology, oncology) and he met with them all yesterday, this is what we know so far:
The neurosurgeon said according to the MRI they believe it to be a glioblastoma, but it could be something else. He has three and they are all fairly big in size (1.7 cm and 1.4 cm).
The oncologist met with him last night and said although this is still a possibility he is leaning more towards melanoma. The oncologist did not rule anything out, simply stated he has more reason to believe melanoma than glioblastoma but again, we won’t know until the surgeon gets in there and we biopsy. His surgery is scheduled for 9 am on Monday morning.
We know God is a God of miracles. Tim has had many moments of peace about all of this over the last few days that everything will work out the way it needs to, whatever that looks like. He is nervous but calm and we will continue to pray and remain positive.
Amber and the kids are doing well. Her family, Tim’s family, their ward family, both of their work families and many others have swarmed in to help. Her only request is to pray for Tim.
If you are the praying type, no matter who you pray to, please keep Tim in your prayers. Anyone who knows Tim knows he is a light to everyone he meets and this world will not be the same without him. Anyone who would like to fast for Tim, in any capacity you are willing, is welcome to join us this Sunday. We have seen miracles before and are praying for one now.
Any help and support you can share with the Jackson family is much appreciated. Anyone who knows Tim and Amber know they have dedicated their lives to the service of others. It's our time to return some of that love to them!
You got this Tim! We love you!!
