Please keep Blake Stover in your prayers. After going to urgent care for a cough, a chest X-ray revealed a serious and unexpected medical emergency. He was rushed to Children’s Hospital, where he has been ever since. The medical team discovered a recurrence of the Wilms’ tumor Blake had at the age of eighteen months. He is currently intubated and has already begun what will be ten months of chemotherapy.

He will be undergoing a tracheostomy to help support his breathing during this long treatment journey.

The family is overwhelmed but deeply grateful for the love, support, and prayers from everyone. Right now they need time, space, and privacy, so please understand if they are unable to respond to messages at this time.

Many people have asked how they can help, so a GoFundMe is being set up to support the family during the months ahead. The link will be shared as soon as it’s available for anyone who wishes to help.

Thank you for keeping Blake and the entire Stover/LaFrankie/Donato family in your thoughts and prayers. ❤️‍
