Isaiah Update

Isaiah has been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or A.L.L. Leukemia. This is the most common type of Leukemia in children. Today he had surgery to have a port put in his chest under the skin. The port is connected to the veins near his heart and creates easy access for chemotherapy. The port will be in for about 3 years. The plan is to treat his spinal cord with chemotherapy first, even though both the spinal cord and brain showed no signs of cancer. This is a common procedure now in children with leukemia. Isaiah is expected to remain in the hospital for 2 weeks at this time, receiving chemotherapy. We are unsure how much and how often he will receive treatment, thereafter. Please continue to pray for Isaiah, as well as his mom, dad and sister.
