<div>This is the page for updates to family and friends on Glen's journey. As we can all imagine, this has been a very trying time for the family and it's impossible to update everyone every day while caring for Glen. Trevor and Alexis are not asking for money, only your prayers and well wishes. But money never hurts (says us and Blaise).

<div>Glen's Cancer Journey

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>October 7th 2025 started out as any other day, until it became every parent's nightmare. Our three boys (3 years old and younger) had been sharing typical childhood illnesses between each other for the past several months. We noticed our oldest son, Glen, would not fully recover between illnesses and eventually contracted HFMD (hand, foot, and mouth disease). At this time we noticed he was continuously losing weight and had a large number of bruises that were not healing.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We took him to our pediatrician who at that time was not terribly concerned and put him on antibiotics. They had no effect on him so they switched him to a different antibiotic which was also ineffective. My husband and I both knew something was wrong. We requested bloodwork and had to wait 48 hours to get the results. After 48 hours the physician called with the results and told us to head immediately to the Emergency Room.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We ended up at CHOC at Mission Hospital only a few minutes from my mom’s house. She took off of work to take care of the younger boys which allowed us to stay at the hospital with Glen rather than commuting all the way home to San Diego.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>CHOC at Mission Hospital ran a large number of tests and concluded it was an unusual viral infection or Leukemia..

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We were transferred to CHOC’s main hospital in Orange where they have an Oncology unit. Glen had the thrill of a lifetime and got to ride there in a real ambulance! His 2 year old brother would have to stay at Mimi’s (grandma's house) and the 5 month old, who is still breastfeeding, was allowed to stay with us.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>While at CHOC in Orange, we learned that Glen had blood cancer. After more and more testing, they determined he has T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. We were devastated at this heartbreaking news.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The doctors at CHOC are both incredible and amazing. They explained how the next 30 days would be crucial and the steps we would have to follow for the next 2-3 years.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are taking this process one day at a time, sometimes an hour at a time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are so grateful and appreciative of all of the love and prayers being sent to Glen and our family each and every day and want a place to share our story and give updates to everyone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Day 1 Update: Glen had a big procedure; port put in, a lumbar puncture and a bone marrow biopsy. During the lumbar puncture they remove spinal fluid to see if there are any cancer cells in his spine or brain. They then put a teaspoon of chemo in his spinal fluid to kill any cancer in his spine or brain. After the procedure Glen received his first round of chemotherapy.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Day 2 Update: The procedure yesterday went great and he is healing nicely. We are waiting on results to see if there are cancer cells in his spine. Doctors made rounds and the chemo is working (all numbers are going in the right direction).

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Day 4 Update: Glen does not have any cancer cells in his brain or spinal fluid. This is great news! Today we are doing another round of chemo. Glen's body is working really hard to get rid of all the cell "waste" which is a result of the chemo. We are closely monitoring his levels and numbers. We are still very early into treatment, but at this time Glen's labs are looking great and he is responding well to the treatment.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Day 5.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>One day at a time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Day 6:

</div>

<div>Blood labs came in this morning! There are no cancer cells detected!!!!!! The chemo is working and the doctors are very happy.
