My most sincere Intentions sent to your Friends (and You, Rox)I'm in a pretty upset mood today and let me share why. A long time friend's son has a rare form of liver cancer that mostly attacks kids and young adults. He is terminal at this point and treatment is to try to extend his life now, not cure it. He just turned 21.
His current treatment is coming out of Chicago. Little is known about this cancer and his treatments have come from all around the country at various times.
Yesterday he began coughing up large amounts of blood and had to be taken to MCO in Toledo. They got him stabilized and on a respirator. But, wanted him lifeflighted to Chicago. However the weather prevented that until just a little bit ago. Right now he is on the helicopter while his parents are driving there. But, his blood oxygen levels have just dropped and now it's unclear where they are going to take him. My friends are pulled over and waiting to hear where they need to go.
Any thoughts or prayers will be welcome.
