My lifelong friend Jeanine and her husband Mark are in the middle of a nightmare right now. Last week they were told that their 14 year old son, Seth has Lymphoma of the intestines. To date he has had a chemo port implanted, had bone marrow extracted, and today had chemo to his spine for preventitive reasons. But thanks to the power of prayer once again the chemo is breaking up the tumors in his belly and they are dissolvng, but it will take a while because there is so many of them.
Seth is a popular kid that everybody loves. He is a big baseball player, his dad has coached him for years. And when we were up at the ballpark tonight for Lily, Drake, and Haley's game the talk was how all the kids, even girls are going to shave their heads , and all of the teams are putting Seth's name and number on their jerseys!!!! How awesome is that!! Everyone is praying for him. The girls prayed for him before their games this weekend at the tournament, it is just great how these kids are rallying around Seth.
And to be honest... as a a parent this is one of those things that just scares the hell out of me. One day you have this what you think is a perfectly healthy kid and the next he's fighting for his life. You really get a reality check when something like this happens. I ask all of you to please pray for Seth, please put him on your prayer list, and ask your friends and family to pray for him. Thank you so much , and may God bless each of you and may he bless all of your children.
p.s. Even thought it just does not seem as important since all of this has happened ...the girls took 2nd at the tournament. They had a great tournament, but I must admit during the Championship game they choked a little and let the other team get in their heads, but hey there is always next year!!!! They had a great season and I am so proud of all of them!!!
