Devon Still reunited with his daughter Leah so she can watch his NFL game in person for the first time on Thursday.
The Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle has been helping his daughter fight cancer since June. The four-year-old has had surgery and chemotherapy for stage 4 neuroblastoma.
On Wednesday Leah felt well enough to leave the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and fly home so she could watch the Bengals play the Cleveland Browns.
Still considers it the most special game he will ever play.

Devon Still:
Pre-game Tea Party:
Really great!
Go Bungle...I mean Bengals!
Browns should make it easy to please little girl! ;-D
Best wishes for her victory of cancer.
Does the child live in Philadelphia? I was wondering why she is in Children’s in Phila and the crowd wa donating to Children’s in Ohio.
Not really sure why that is. Devon is from NJ. That might have something to do with the fact that she’s being treated in Philly.
South Jersey, maybe?

Well, I cannot be a Bengals fan tonight, since I have 26 years of Browns fandom to account for(I know, I know) but here’s to Leah’s quick and full recovery.
If he lives in Jersey, CHOP in Philly is closest. CHOP and UCSF are two of the leading centers for treating neuroblastoma in the US.
It’s a horrible disease but she’s getting the best medical care available there.
God bless that little girl.
CHOP is one of the best.and i’m sure ohio needs the money as well.
Only a real man plays tea party with his little girl.
Prayers up for that precious baby Leah.
Oh God Bless them!!
Kudos to the Bengals management for standing with Devon Still and his family during this trying time. This has weighed heavily on Devon Still. Go Bengals, and prayers up for the family.
I have as much sympathy as the next guy, but wow, NFL Network is devoting a half hour pre-game show to this. Mooch says she’s getting stem-cell treatment. Last time I checked, we kind of frown on that.
Well, I think raising some awareness and some money is more important (in a lot of people’s minds, including mine) than rehashing mundane stats and other nonsense. As to the stem cell treatments, I don’t think anyone here is against adult stem cell treatments. I don’t know what type she’s receiving.
I don’t know if it’s adult or embryonic so I shouldn’t have mentioned. My problem is there are thousands of kids in the same situation and they’re going to make this entire game about this one child. They’ll cut away to her no less than 20 times during the game.
She’s beautiful!
