Help Archer beat Leukemia
Donation protected
My very best friends 2 year old son, Archer, was just recently diagnosed with Leukemia. I can’t imagine what her and her family are going through so I’m hoping this could ease the burden just a tiny bit. I’m making this page to help Staci and her fiancé Kurt, with any medical expenses, driving to Akron children’s multiple times a week, financial problems from being off work, and towards their 3 other little boys. Any donation will help and if you’re unable to donate, a quick share to your Facebook page to help get the word out would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE:
Archer was diagnosed February 16th with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. A.L.L. The next day he then received his first blood transfusion. February 20th he had another blood transfusion and had surgery to get a port put in. Which a port is a small medical device that allows access straight to a vein in his chest. February 20th was also the first day of kicking cancer's butt aka first day of chemotherapy. He did great! During his surgery they did a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to check for leukemia cells in his spinal fluid, that came back negative so NO leukemia cells were found hiding in his spinal fluid. He'll be getting spinal taps done ever couple weeks to keep an eye on it. As of right now he will be getting chemotherapy once a week. Unfortunately Archer has high risk leukemia. Meaning we will have a harder more intense battle ahead of us than the standard risk, with a higher chance of a relapse and it coming back. For the good news ARCHER IS FIGHTING LIKE A CHAMP! He comes home February 24th! With rides up to Akron children's 2 or 3 times a week for chemo and blood work. He will also be on 8 different kinds of medicines. We are so thankful for everyone's thoughts and prayers and ask you please keep us in your hearts and minds as we just begin this long scary journey to recovery and cure. Let's help Archer's kick cancer's butt!
