Precious 4-yr-old needs your prayers - great news! pg 7/post 99

Has this family considered St. Judes? We have had a family member treated there and it is the most wonderful place in the world for children with cancer. They will not take a patient after treatment somewhere else. They also do not charge for treatment and even with insurance the co-pay can be tremendous. Please be sure his parents have this information if they do not already. We will keep him in our prayers. Please keep us up-dated.

I am just in tears. I will be keeping their whole family in my thoughts!

 

[scoutsmom99]

and for Dylan

I am so sorry to hear of this. I am hoping the treatment will be succesful and he handles it well.

 

[LaLa]

Prayers to that family. Just cannot imagine...

 

[chris1gill]

I am sending you, Dylan and his family all the hugs in the world I am hoping for the best for Dylan....

 

[ZachnElli]

I'm praying for Dylan.

Just wanted to give everyone the latest update. He had his first round of chemo on Friday, and he's been so sick. His mom said he was sick ALL day yesterday. They have told them that he will need 48 weeks of chemo. But they have also said that he's got a 75% chance of beating this, so the parents are very pleased with those odds. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. They are planning on letting him go home on Tuesday, so he is happy about that.

Poor guy - he's also got a baby brother - just turned 1 yesterday. His mom had originally planned a big party for him yesterday, and on Wednesday when I was up there, he sat up out of the blue and asked about the party. His mom said, "Yes, honey! We're still gonna do his party! Don't worry!" I felt so bad for him. He hasn't seen his brother in 9 days now, so I know he's missing him.

Oh honey, I am so excited about the 75% cure rate. The family is still in my prayers.

I can't believe this post has gotten to be 5 pages long and I haven't seen it until now. How does that happen when I have bopped in and out all day??

Prayers to the family that everything works out wonderfully for them,. I can't imagine what the parents are going through and even the younger brother who is waiting for his party.

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Oh, prayers for the little guy. Thank Heavens that there is a high chance of beating this thing, so sorry he has to go through this.... Prayers for everyone involved!

 

[TinkInPink]

Hope and prayers for the family. These little guys are tough! They are real fighters.

I haven't been able to get this off my mind since I first read it. I know what the days ahead will be like for this family, and I pray to God that the treatment not only cures his cancer, but that it works as fast as possible with as little side effects as possible.

My dd was diagonsed with a horrible malignant cancer when she was 2 months old. They gave us like a 3% chance that she would live until her 2nd birthday.3%!
She had both chemo and radiation along with a few surgeries, and that alone almost did her in. But as someone else posted, it's amazing how strong these little ones are!
By the grace of God, my "baby" just turned 14 years old and she is doing great!

What a great friend you are to be there for them at a time like this. It's VERY hard, and a lot of people can't do it. You're a good friend.

 

[MsSpinShady]

Will keep praying for this little guy and his family. Those are encouraging odds!
