My oldest son
 
1 Attachment(s)
Guys, I know I've been in basically "super lurk mode" for quite a while due to work and such, but I usually check in on the posts daily. I got a prayer request for you all to remember...

I'd like for you all to remember my oldest son (Owen). He was diagnosed on Dec 23 with a germ cell tumor on his pituitary gland (brain cancer). We have been going to Wake Forest Baptist hospital and he starts chemo this Friday (1/15). The doctors have said that he has a really good chance of a complete recovery but he will have to take 6 rounds of chemo and 5 weeks of radiation afterwards... We will be making a 2 hour trip down I-77 quite a bit (already have been) in the upcoming months...

I have had a great peace about the whole situation. I'm not worried about his healing but I do really hate that he's having to go through all of this. He's only 10 years old. Last week he had surgeries to put in a portacath, do a testicular biopsy and a spinal tap. He's been taking all of this like a real champ. I don't know if he's even really shed a tear!

That's a plateful for a 10yr old.

Your family will be in my prayers. That is a good hospital. When my son was born there was no where locally for him, all the critical care units were full. So with Duke literally in our backyard, we were shipped to Winston-Salem. Wonderful staff. You may want to check into Ronald McDonald house there, we were offered the chance to stay there but had family near by to stay with instead.:Pray:

Nobody should have that burden, much less a child.
God bless and hoping for a complete recovery.
