A precious member of our family is in need of your prayers. Richard, aka Little Man, is 2 and a half yrs. old. After receiving what his parents were told were "every test known to man" during Christmas, and being sent home with a tube for feeding (he had been admitted after weeks of diarrhea which caused dehydration) began vomiting a week ago. His Mom insisted upon re-admittance to the hospital which they did. The doctor ordered a catscan and ultrasound (why that wasn't done before is beyond us, but we put that away for another day). The test found a tennis ball size tumor, and immediately proceeded to go after a biopsy. Once in, seeing the tumor was attached to no vital organ, the removed it right away.
Yesterday, we heard the news that the biopsy came back and is malignant. We do not know at this time what type of cells or any other information. Our entire extensive family is praying, and we would ALL appreciate the prayers of FReepers, we believe the more prayers, the better! Thank you all!!
UPDATE 5/28/13
This is a wonderful update I am thrilled to report!
Little Man will be going in tomorrow to have his port removed, the last scan, done 28 days ago show NO ACTIVE cancer cells!! Whooohooo
About a month and a half ago there was a small amount of the tumor left that was too close to the aorta, and when they removed the tumor they decided to not touch that part. It was about the size of an adult finger tip. The doctors and Ricky and Katy, (Mom and Dad) decided to removed what they could of what they could of that remaining part, which they did. and got all but a tiny bit! That biopsy came back negative!!
Thank you all for your prayers, May God Bless each and every one of you!
Praise Jesus!!!!
