Default Need some prayers - UPDATED - lost the battle

Back in November some friends found out their 15 year old son has Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.
Fast forward to this weekend, he has been on chemo and doing fairly well until last night when he developed a fever. They took him back to Cook's Hosiptal and they think he has a stomach virus - NOT good in his condition. He can't keep anything down and has lost another 4 pounds that he did not need to lose. Please keep him in your prayers.
If you have a prayer list, please add Brennan Trussell to it.
Thank you.

UPDATE:
Latest test results show he is now CANCER FREE!! Thank you for your prayers.


Update June 14-
His cancer has returned. A 4 1/2 inch tumor was removed from his spine yesterday in a long tedious surgery. He is in ICU. His last chemo treatment was May 31st. His body scan revealed no cancer back in May. This tumor metastasized quickly in only a month.
He needs prayers again. Thank you.

Still in need of MANY prayers. He has another mass at the base of his spine that is inoperable. The treatment path they were following has not helped, in fact it has grown a little, so they are now going another way, he's have radiation treatments now. He is also paralyzed from the chest down. They are not sure if it's from the radiation or not and if it's permanant or not. PLEASE send more prayers. Thanks.

Dear `Becky, you have a kind/caring heart about other's that touch your `life. There is so much sadness in our life when it comes to the health/injuries of others.

Is it a reminder on how fragile human life can be, no matter of the age of the person affected ? It is always sad when the person is just begining their life's `journey.

Sometimes I feel that I am prayed `out, & that the Master Creator of `All is not listening ? I shall contain Brennan Trussell in my prayers for his recovery back to good health, & I'm sure that the BeachBum Family Seniors will also pray when they read your post.

I've learned from being raised by seniors, that one is a rich/fortunate person if they have good health...Many I know would give `up their worldly possessions to be healthy....4-Sure


Peace/Love/Health/Happiness to all on their `Journey of life...`amen

I just got these updates - not good - keep praying please.



Brennan is not doing well. He has an infection in the lower intestines, a kidney stone and they are watching his appendix because they are afraid it may rupture. His liver enzymes are elevated where his liver is working hard. He can't keep food down so no food for several days. Just liquids and he is on an IV to keep him hydrated. Still running a temperature and is very weak. Is down to 150 lbs.

It appears to be more serious that earlier thought. Its now rules as a bacteria infection which his body is having a hard time fighting off. They have taken him off of food and liquids to avoid anything in the stomach. He is having a hard time swallowing now because he is not producing enough saliva. He's now on his 6th pint of blood and platelets. Keep praying.
