We were on STJ last week and Luke was sick the entire time. He was diagnosed at the MK Health Clinic with a double ear infection. Today we found out that he has full blown lymphoma. We are devastated beyond belief! They removed a lymph node in his neck and did a bone marrow test. They will find out tomorrow how far it has spread they can see it around his spleen and through his chest. We will find out the severity tomorrow. He is a fighter! He will beat this too! He will be life flighted to Boston after his first round of Chemo. Please keep LUKE in your prayers!
My heart sank when I read this update -- I will be sending healing thoughts Luke's way.
I mentioned this a while ago, but I live right down the street from Children's Hospital (I can walk there in about 5 minutes), so please, please let me know if I can do anything at all for you or for Luke's parents -- bring a homecooked meal over to the hospital, pick up groceries, do laundry, entertain Luke's big sister for a few hours, anything. It's a serious offer...just let me know.
I am so sorry to see this update. Poor little guy. Childrens is amazing, I know he will get the best care there. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts...
It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.
