Jesus Over DIPG
Donation protected
Last Friday, our 2-year-old niece, Taryn was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a rare, aggressive, inoperable tumor that's in her brainstem.
In September, she participated in a sleep study, and the doctors found that she'd stop breathing in her sleep. They resolved that it was due to enlarged adenoids, and she had them surgically removed in mid-October. After her surgery, our brother and sister-in-law noticed they couldn't understand her when she spoke. They thought it was a typical part of her recovery, but throughout the following month, her speech didn't improve. They took her to the doctor before their annual Christmas trip to Colorado, and the doctor insisted they postpone the trip so Taryn could have an MRI.
Taryn had the MRI last Friday (December 14th). The doctors found a large brain tumor on her brainstem and diagnosed her with DIPG.
As a result of lots of prayers, yesterday, Taryn was accepted into St. Jude Children's Hospital's blood-brain barrier clinical trial.
Please send all your love and prayers to Taryn, and her parents, Kenan and Angela. We invite you to join us in our daily prayers for Taryn: https://bit.ly/2A7qSHq
If you feel inclined to donate, we'd appreciate your financial support to cover their expenses and any potential loss of income due to extended absences from work during Taryn's treatments in Memphis. The trial lasts two years.
Thank you for partnering with us as we trust God for her miraculous healing.
Love,
Javin & Maci
