It has been a while since I have posted an update on my nephew, who turned 5 months old yesterday. He is still on chemo and has had a second liver biopsy. As far as I know the results have not come back yet. If you recall, there was some talk early on about removing his spleen. Now the talk has become a reality and his surgery is Friday. They are also screening for a bone marrow match. His 3 siblings have been tested and the results aren't back. If you can, please continue to pray for him. My sister-in-law hasn't left the hospital in months as far as I know. Thankfully her 3 other kids are older, with the youngest being a senior in high school, so they have been able to fend for themselves for some things. Their grandmother is here so I think she is helping out a lot. Maybe a Christmas miracle will occur for this baby, I am going to keep praying and believing.

Some of you have PM'd me asking about him and I really appreciate the fact that you think about him in your busy every day lives, it really means so much.

I'll post after his surgery when I know how he is doing.

Thank you Lynn! Will be watching for a follow up and hoping and praying for happy news! Things like this just make you realize how really lucky we are! When the little things get us down, we should think of all the troubles other people have and count our blessings! I will pray for your family and that the baby will receive a Christmas miracle!

Take care!

I'll have been and will continue praying for him, Lynn. I don't know how your SIL has held up.

I hope his operation goes well and that somehow, someway, he gets his Christmas Miracle! Please continue to update us.

Thank you for the update Lynn. I've been wondering about him and will keep praying for him and his parents. I'm sure this is beyond difficult for them, and for their other children.
