Need some prayers for two little boys

Posted : 10/12/2006 11:19:18 AM

My son's stepson is 13 he has leukemia/lymphoma, and he was in remission but now they found a secondary cancer and they need to do a bone marrow transplant he is on the national registry, but don't know how long that will take all of the family and friends are not matches.

And my friend Gail in Florida, her grandson's best friend 8 yr old Gunner, we don't know the specifics, like what type of cancer he has but he is going to the oncologist this week.
Thanks for the help my friends.

That's so sad, Deb. Nothing tugs at the heartstrings like kids with major illnesses. Good thoughts and prayers coming your way for both of them.

Thanks Joyce, it's really sad to see the horrific tests and treatments these babies go through and they are such troopers! makes me feel like a real baby.

I'll send everything I've got. Man, sometimes life just isn't fair and it doesn't slow down enough to let us ride with the good times . . .

Gosh, I just saw a story on the national news last night about kids and cancer, and it broke my heart to see what they were dealing with. Yet they had amazing courage. I can't imagine the pain you'd feel as the parent. My thoughts and prayers are with the children and their families.

How completely heartbreaking. Wishing them and their families comfort, strenghth, endurance, ease, and a restoration to health, most of all.

Thank you so much guys! I'm telling you this board is a powerful board, I think God likes people who love dogs lol.
Gunner's tumors turned out to be benign! thank you God.
Now if you don't mind could we keep praying for Johnny?
You are the best.

Deb,

How's Johnny doing? I've been keeping him in my prayers.

Thanks.
