Much Needed Nestie Prayers

JustK · May 2010

I've not posted anything about this because I've just been hopeful that things would turn around. Pel? has a 3 year old friend who lives across the street from us. Every day, he rings D's bell to see if D wants to go bike riding with him. Well literally 10 days ago, we rang the bell and my friend came out and told us that D was sleeping but would probably love to play later on. She mentioned to me that she kept him home from preschool because he's been having a very bad pain "in his tummy" but the doctors suspected that it was some sort of bone infection. Well we went back the next day (grandma opened the door) and found out that it was far worse.

They found a huge tumor on his kidney and decisions would have to be made. Fast forward, it is stage 3 Wilms tumor. He has cancer. We visited him on Monday (he'd asked to see Pel?) in the hospital. He'd already had one dose of chemo and he was on a morphine drip for his pain. He was still in quite a bit of pain and discomfort (I won't go in to details about physical appearance but he certainly looked sick). P got into bed with him and I read a few stories to them so his mom could touch base with folks. She also has a 14 month old who I am watching. We found out last night that the chemo had no affect and the tumor is still growing. He is now preparing for radiation treatment today. This is all just devastating. If you pray, I am begging you RIGHT NOW to take 5 seconds to say a prayer for little D (think, Dora's best friend). I can't even go into how devastated we all are (and you can imagine what my friend and her husband are going through) It's only been 2 weeks, they've barely had a chance to process the fact that their just turned 3 year old son has cancer. I strongly believe in the power of prayer, please if you can say a prayer for little D and his family, do. Thanks, K

I'm not really the praying type, but I do believe in the power of positive thoughts and I will keep D in my thoughts (as well as Pele and your family - it will be hard on you all as well). Tons of positive vibes and thoughts headed to your and D's houses right now.

It makes me so sad to think how quickly things happen. One minute he's playing with Pele and now in the hospital : ( Sending tons of good thoughts to little D and family. (hugs to you too)

jsugrin · May 2010

Tons of prayers headed their way. I think it's just fabulous that you have P get into bed with him to read stories. I spent a bit of time in the hospital young, not that young, but also with cancer and it was so hard to have people be so uncomfortable around you. I still remember one of my friends coming to visit and she and her brother brought some gummy bears and walked in and just sat on the end of my bed and chatted like it was nothing, meant a lot to me.

Dragonfly_Bride · May 2010

I said a prayer for little D. right now. I'm so sorry he and his family are suffering. I'll continue to keep them in my thoughts.
