Please Pray for Our Brave Little Warrior
It is with the heaviest heart that we share the unimaginable: our sweet, joyful little boy has been diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer.
What began as what we thought was simple constipation turned into something no parent could ever prepare for. For over a month, we worked closely with his pediatrician to find answers. Despite trying everything recommended, nothing seemed to help. Then, about two weeks ago, a noticeable swollen mass appeared under his left rib cage. We were concerned and made another pediatrician appointment, which led to an ultrasound and a CT scan being scheduled — but it would take several days, maybe even weeks, to get those done.
That night, our parental instincts took over — and thank God they did. We couldn't wait. We rushed Liam to the ER at children's in Atlanta. There, they immediately performed an ultrasound, X-ray, and CT scan. The doctors told us they were almost certain what it was… and that night, we heard the words no parent ever wants to hear: "Your child has cancer."
Liam was diagnosed with neuroblastoma — a 12 cm tumor pressing against his kidneys. On July 24th, the doctors performed a biopsy, placed a central port, and took a bone marrow sample. We are incredibly grateful to say: his bone marrow is clear of cancer. That was the first piece of hope we clung to.
Over the next three days — Saturday, Sunday, and Monday — Liam underwent his first rounds of chemotherapy. He has been in the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) ever since due to dangerously high blood pressure caused by the tumor pressing on his organs and releasing stress hormones (catecholamines). It's been overwhelming, to say the least.
All we want is to get back to the Hematology/Oncology floor, where he can have a bit more freedom. I just want to take my baby outside for some fresh air. PICU is strict, but we know he's in the best hands.
Through it all, Liam has shown unbelievable strength. He is our brave little warrior, fighting each day with a courage that inspires everyone around him.
Why We're Asking for Help
This diagnosis has turned our lives upside down. Between hospital stays, medical procedures, chemotherapy, medications, and trying to maintain our household and be present for our boy, we are emotionally and financially overwhelmed.
My husband is our sole provider, but he has made the decision to pause working so he can be by Liam's side for every moment of treatment. This has been incredibly hard on us financially, but there was no question in our minds — Liam needs both of his parents right now.
We are humbly asking for help to cover: ongoing medical bills; prescription costs; travel and stay related to treatment; and household bills while we focus on Liam's care.
Anything you can give — no matter how small — will make a difference for our family. Even if you can't donate, please share Liam's story and keep him in your prayers. We believe in the power of faith, community, and love.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
