The Diagnosis

After a bone marrow test that Regan had to undergo, we finally got the result and a diagnoses. The test results showed that it is Acute Myelogenous Leukemia or (AML). The immediate course of treatment is chemo. He made it through his first 10 day course with some mild side effects. His hair started to fall out so we gave him a buzz cut, he was a very good sport about all of it. Through every bump along the way we have continued to declare the faithfulness of
God. Jesus is our healer, He is the same yesterday,today and forever.

Friday the 16 of October, a day our family will not soon forget. Our third son, Regan, had not been feeling well for about a month. I took him to the doctors to have some test run to find out why he was not getting better. His blood test came back and the white blood count was way off. The doctor had us go to the hospital in Anaheim to meet with the oncologist there. We were admitted to the ER where more test were run, we were then air lifted to the PICU in Los Angeles. We met the oncologist and were told this is very characteristic of Leukemia but more conclusive test needed to be run and we would know more after the weekend. We were shocked, this could not be happening to us, not to our precious, football playing son. We had many friends come to the hospital that evening to offer support, prayer and encouragement. We are so very grateful to outpouring of love that was shown to our family.
