Anyway, we took my 10 month old daughter to the pediatrician last Tuesday, she has this black eye that isn't going away, not a big shiner by any means, just not going away. Well, the doctor starts ordering full-body x-rays and CAT scans, says he's worried that she may have fractured her eye socket. The doctor in the emergency room decides that a CAT scan would expose my daughter to more radiation than a fracture to her eye socket would warrant. The next day I bring her in for her follow-up (They also found a urinary tract infection) and while I'm there my wife calls to tell me that the doctors have been calling her cell phone and the house phone, wanting us to bring my daughter back in right away. The doctor again wants to run a CAT scan. I figure there looking for any sign of abuse, since I did bring in my baby with a shiner, but no, I was very wrong. The x-rays came back clean, nothing to show, the CAT scan came back showing a 10 centimeter mass attached to her adrenal gland. She was immediately admitted to the hospital, and a slew of tests were ordered, among them an MRI. According to the MRI, my baby not only has the 10 centimeter mass, she also has lesions on both her liver and on her bone marrow. The doctor's say my 10 month old baby girl has cancer. It is called Neuroblastoma, and the black eye was the tumor spreading through her bones to her eye socket, causing the bones to slightly mis-form and place pressure to the socket (from what I understand). My wife and I have been at the hospital all week, today they took her into surgery and biopsied both the tumor mass and the bone marrow and also installed a type of shunt with 2 tubes coming out of her chest....one to take blood for tests, the other to give medicine and chemo. Since we won't have any additional news until the biopsy results come back in 3 - 5 days, and the surgery went well, we are now switching days at the hospital between us, one stays there and the other stays at home with the boys. Unsocial bastage that I am, all my friends seem to be in-game here. And so, here I am, asking my friends for any prayers and positive thoughts, energy, anything......cuz every little bit helps  Thanks. |

Since all is going well, we received the doctors' okay to schedule Anna for surgery to have her Mediport taken out. Anna went into surgery at 7:30 this morning and came out around 8:30 Mediport-free. Yet another milestone reached and put behind us. Anna is now running around the house, smiling and laughing and climbing all over her brothers, who just got home from school. Thank you again for all the prayers and positive thoughts and energies given up for Anna. SS |

She sounds like a fighter SS, so glad to hear she is improving, Will pray for Her and Your Family. Worst thing in the world is to see your child suffer and you can't take it away. Stay strong and keep faith that God will give her a long happy life.

Hey man my Fiance and I want to send out all the positive energy we have and our hearts go out to you and your family, you are in our thoughts and prayers and if you ever need anything in game look ol Capn. up
The doctors found a "subtle spot" during Anna's MIBG last week. They don't think it's anything, but recommend an MRI to be sure. MRI is scheduled for Monday at 12:30. Again asking for prayers and positive thoughts that the docs are just being overly cautious and there is nothing there.....thank you all so much in advance.
Just so everyone knows the difference between the tests: an MRI finds evidence of tumor mass, an MIBG finds chemical traces of active neuroblastoma.

Seriously though, you, Anna, and your family remain in my thoughts. She fought it before. She will keep fighting. It's what she's proven she does.
Good Luck!
