Title: Prayers for Ransom
Post by: McClintock on May 09, 2012, 10:11:00 PM
Please pray for my youngest son Ransom, 3.  Two months ago he was diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma in his liver.  It is very rare for a child his age to have this type of liver cancer.

He's gone through three chemo treatments and has been home for the last few weeks.  However, we had to take him to the ER this morning, he was running a fever of 103 and it looks like he might have some kind of bacterial infection.  We won't know for sure till tomorrow.  

He had a CT scan last week and there was significant shrinkage in the tumors in  his lungs and in his liver.  However, the doctor/s told us "his chances aren't good, but they're not zero".

Thanks.

Clint

Clint,

My heart goes out to you and your family.  That just ain't 'right' for a kid to have to battle that illness.

You can tell from my 'tag line' that life-limited or life-challenged kids break my heart!

I will keep your son, you and your wife and family in my prayers.

Lord in your Mercy... be with these people and bring young Ransom thru this whole and able to witness to your healing touch. Amen.

Clint, Keep the Son in your eyes!

Prayers for Ransom and your family.  To see a child suffer is heart wrenching.  I pray that all ends well.

My heart is heavy for Ransom, your family and you. I am praying for a guided hand, thought and Wisdom. We can never discount Wisdom. Be it for the doctors or your family.

I am praying for you, your family and your son. I am praying for his healing.

Thank you everyone for your prayers for Ransom.  Since we brought him back from his 5th round of chemo last week he has undergone quite a change for the better.  His stomach looks normal (the swelling has gone done almost completely) his energy levels are way up and he is eating so much better.  We are so very thankful.

Ransom just had another CT scan done yesterday.  We should have the results back by Monday.  Over the past three weeks he has been doing great.  High energy levels, eating well, and he has been in good spirits.  We are hoping for a miracle in regards to the CT scan results.  If the cancer is gone from his lungs and if the tumor has shrunk enough in his liver, he will potentially be eligible for resection surgery or a transplant.  Thank you everyone for your prayers and your kind words.

What an emotional post for you, Clint.

Thanks for sharing back with us.  Praise God for your son's improvement!

Prayers for good results on the CT scan Monday. Please do share.

Sad that the good news is that he may be strong enough to undergo transplant or resection surgery at his tender age... but Praises that the Lord has brought him this far and we will continue to beseach Him to bring your boy to full recovery, to live a whole and natural life and sing His praises!

We want a complete healing for the young fellow and we know that we are to come boldly unto Your throne of grace and we do so in reguards to this request. Father you know the reasons for this and You know how it will all play out but we are asking for this so we can see your power and willingness to heal your people. I love you and I know you love us........
