This week our family received the terrible news that Andrew and Giana's 3-year-old son Henry has been diagnosed with leukemia. While Andrew and Giana are devastated at the news, they are steadfast in their resolve to fight this battle lockstep with and for their eldest son.
This is not the first battle that Henry has had to wage. Born 10 weeks premature, Henry spent the first 5 weeks of his life in the NICU at Cottage Hospital weighing just 3 pounds. Andrew and Giana hardly ever left his side and brought him home a healthy, albeit small, baby boy. Since then, Henry has grown to be a big boy, full of life and always ready to play and have fun. Even now, admitted into the ICU at Cottage Hospital, Henry is continuing to find joy in his surroundings and looking for the next opportunity to get up and play.
At this point, we don't yet know the severity of the cancer. Tomorrow Henry will undergo surgery where a port will be inserted in order to push chemotherapy and other drugs. He'll have bone marrow pulled to determine the type of Cancer. He'll also have a spinal tap to determine if the Cancer has spread to his spinal cord. His stay in the Hospital could be limited to 10 days, or as long as 4 months. We just don't know yet. He's facing at least a three year battle of serious steroid and chemotherapy treatments at this point.
Our family is rallying behind Andrew, Giana, Henry and Hudson. We will fight this fight together utilizing every resource available to us. Andrew and Giana will be focusing 100% of their time to healing Henry and making his physical and mental state as comfortable as possible. During this time, neither will be able to work. Yet, as you know, bills don't stop, and healthcare isn't free.
Andrew, Giana, Henry, and Hudson need your support and help to finance this battle. For those of you who know Andrew and Giana, you are very much aware of how much they deserve your support.
