0:00.0	Hey guys, this is a very different episode, as you can see and hear. No intro music. Caitlin is not here. It's late at night. I'm only jumping in to ask for prayers. We have a... Let me just say this. We need prayers. My oldest daughter, sophomore in college, was just diagnosed with a brain tumor. This is all happening very quickly. Just, just got the diagnosis 48 hours ago.
0:39.3	As of this recording, she was just having headaches.
0:44.3	And we did some quick scans to rule things out.
0:49.3	And I'm really sorry to say this for any hypochondriacs listening, but the, in this case,
0:57.5	the headaches did indeed turn out to be a brain tumor.
1:05.2	The day you hear this, I'm going to put it out Monday.
1:14.9	She will be, she'll be doing a brain surgery.
1:18.9	It'll be between eight and 12 hours long, and a team of five neurosurgeons will be working on it.
1:26.4	She is currently in the intensive care unit and I'm I'm just recording
1:32.5	this real quick in one of the very few breaks that I have right now. So just wanted to give
1:39.9	you guys a heads up that things will be a little different around here for a while.

1:56.0	Our Lady of Champion, which is also known as Our Lady of Good Help. It is the only approved Marian
2:03.0	apparition in the United States. The shrine is up in Green Bay, Wisconsin. I've been there,
2:09.1	had a wonderful experience with the people there. And so that's the main patronage that we're asking for. And that might change. I mean,
2:19.7	you know, big to-do list items for Catholics, like figuring out whose prayers we're going to ask for.
2:26.3	So if there are updates to that, I will put them in the show notes. But yeah, please ask for the prayers and the guidance of our
2:36.3	Lady of Champion, especially if you're hearing this right after it comes out. I mean, I know
2:41.7	God is outside of time, but I am not. So Monday is, um, when we just, we just need, we just need prayers for the whole team and, um, you know,
2:56.9	just the long-term stuff after that and, you know, the whole thing.
3:02.7	Okay.
3:05.0	People have asked, uh, how I'm handling it. Not great. I wouldn't say. I mean, I'm still in shock,
