Prayers for son

[ozzman]

Good luck! Thinking about you guys

 

[Rambler09]

I have just said a prayer for your son, you, and your family. I'm an oncologist (adults, but similar). For what it's worth (and this may not be a lot right now), the cure rate for Wilms' tumors is very high.

Father God we pray you place a hand of healing on this young child. We ask that you fill him with strength to persevere through these struggles. Father we ask you to place another hand of peace on his mom and dad. Fill their hearts with optimism and courage as they fight this battle before them. We thank you for all the blessings you have provided for us and we love you. Amen.

Trust In the Lord with all your heart! As a father of 2 young children, my heart hurts for you, but know it is temporary and believe in a good outcome. I and your friends here at IE pray for you, and your family.

Payton is staffed by the pediatric surgeons from Riley. They are a center for Wilms tumor treatment and research. You are in a good place. Stay strong your Irish brothers are with you

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My daughter was diagnosed with cancer around the same age as your son is, so I hear you. Take care of each other through this journey and get as much support as you can from family and friends. I know there isn't anything I can do, but will make a donation to St. Judes for you and your family.

Prayers for lil Steelie, my brother.

Just called in a Region candle request to my buddy who's an IE lurker. He attends St Micheal's in Merrilville.

Update:

Thank you all so much for the prayers. I know we are strangers in the grand scheme of things, but any and all spiritual help is always appreciated greatly in times like these.

Recovery from surgery has been going well. They are starting to remove some of the tubes/catheters/etc. and it looks like he will be home sometime this week.

We won’t have official oncology reports from the surgery back for another few days, but they are pretty confident we are looking at stage 3 (common stage for this type due to how it presents itself), and a treatment of radiation of chemo to ensure the mesentery that the tumor was fused to is cancer free (the good news was the tumor was not fused to any organs).

Lots of feelings continue. I am trying hard to not be angry, along with the other natural feelings of fear and sadness that come with situations like this.

Dads have a hard time processing problems they can’t fix right away for their children, and it’s frustrating to be in that unknown territory, and that my baby boy is dealing with this instead of me. It just isn’t fair.

Cancer is a coward, and I do take solace in knowing it has picked a fight with a tough little SOB that won’t be kind to it when the gloves come off.

Your son is a warrior and will be in my prayers. Children are very resilient creatures. One minute they are crying in a manner that ruptures eardrums and the next they are laughing.

This is spot on. Kids are amazing. They can take on anything.

Words are inadequate.
Stay strong, stay positive, and know that we are all praying for the rapid and complete recovery for your boy.

My heart hurts for you Dad. Praying for your boys recovery and defeat of cancer, and for peace that surpasses comprehension for you and the entire family.

The night before I was leaving for a work trip, we noticed a lump on the side of our 3 year old son’s abdomen. Assuming it was a hernia or something fairly innocuous, I left and my wife said she would take him to the pediatrician for an exam.

He was sent straight to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital for testing, and it was discovered he had something known as “Wilm’s Tumor,” which is a very rare form of pediatric cancer.

I rushed back straight to the hospital, and made it before he underwent emergency surgery to have a tumor and one of his kidneys removed.

The surgery went well, and it sounds like we are now looking at about 6 months of radiation and chemo. He is in good spirits all things considered, and we will continue to be strong for him during this very difficult time.

I ask that you please keep our son in your prayers as he fights to beat this diagnosis and return to good health, and please hug those little ones extra hard tonight.

God’s plan can change, and a normal day can turn into the worst day without notice.
