Eli, a 5-year old little boy was diagnosed with Stage IV High Risk Neuroblastoma in April 2016 at the age of 4. So far he has gone through 5 rounds of chemo, 1 surgery to remove tumor, 2 stem cell transplants, radiation, and is now in the middle of immunotherapy, which should last into August. From there, the family hopes to get him in a trial for a maintenance drug which would last 2 additional years. It's a very long road, and he has been such a strong little superhero.
Kendra is 18, a 2016 grad from PHS and was in her first semester at UW-Oshkosh when she was diagnosed (Dec 5) with AML. It's an aggressive form of leukemia, therefore she has had aggressive treatment. She just completed her 4th of 4 rounds of chemo that each required approximately a month in the hospital....it has been a very long winter. ....despite it all has been a rock star!!!
Rylan was diagnosed with B cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on January 5, 2017 at the age of 6. He is admitted to Children's hospital for a minimum of 48 hours every 3 weeks for a lumbar puncture and IV chemotherapy. He is tolerating treatments fairly well and enjoys all the other children he meets in the hospital.
Rylan enjoyed being a kindergartner in Mrs. Vullings class at Pewaukee Lake Elementary. He misses all his friends at school and riding the bus. He looks forward to starting first grade in the fall.
Ryan, age 4 was diagnosed the end of July with Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. He's high risk because of the rare form of Leukemia. Aside from all the heavy treatment, Ryan is doing well at the moment and always is smiling. Ryan is currently undergoing regular treatments in the hospital.
