Landon's Battle
This journey for Landon began by what was believed to be a bad case of strep. His lymph nodes were super swollen and his strep test was positive. After being on antibiotics for 9 days they were convinced he was having an allergic reaction due to how badly his face was swelling when he would wake up. It had done that for 3 days, but on that particular day the swelling did not subside. They revisited the pediatrician's office and were sent to Hamilton for bloodwork and a chest X-ray. While at Hamilton his mom received a call telling them to come back to the pediatrician's office once they left the hospital. They went straight back to the room they had been seen in and at that point were told it was out of their realm of expertise and to head straight to TC Thompson Childrens Hospital. After more tests had been done they recieved the news we had all been praying not hear. Landon has Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, also known as ALL, in his T cells. TC Thompson is now home for at least the next month. He has a long, tough journey ahead to battle this disease that has taken residence in his body. He has already been through a bone marrow aspiration, spinal tap, platelet transfusion, blood transfusions and tolerated his first two rounds of chemo like a champ! Once he is able to go home he will continue treatment, with possible week long stays, at the hospital. It's unknown exactly how long he will need to continue treatment, but they have said it could be for the next 3 years. Landon is such a strong, but sweet young man with the biggest, softest heart. We have so much faith that the Lord has mighty big plans for his life. That being said we already know that they have to pay $10,000 out of pocket for deductible and that doesn't include any medications he receives. Many of you have asked how you can help him and his parents during this difficult transition from their normal everyday life to life battling Leukemia for the unforeseeable future. Your prayers for strength, comfort and complete healing are desired first and foremost and any amount you may feel lead to donate during this new journey through the unknowns will be so helpful and appreciated. We thank you all for your prayers (they are very much felt) and generosity.. you will never know how much you have touched our hearts ❤
