🩵 Graham Update
The last few weeks have brought many complications, and Graham continues to battle respiratory failure. But he still manages to smile through it all.
His first cycle of chemotherapy was completed on August 22. It is given over several days at a time, with additional doses during his rest periods as his little body is able to tolerate them.
This week, they were able to collect stem cells that will be given back to him throughout treatment as needed. The amount they were able to collect surprised everyone in the best possible way. It was a much-needed bit of good news.
Our families are overwhelmed by the prayers and generosity shown by you all. As we all do our best to support them on the road ahead, we ask that you keep in mind that rhabdoid tumor cancer (ATRT) is incredibly rare and extremely complex. Graham’s diagnosis was roughly a 1-in-100-million situation, and as his treatment has continued, his case has become even more unusual.
Life-saving measures continue to be performed by the staff at Seattle Children’s Hospital each day. Modern medicine is keeping Graham here with us, and we are incredibly grateful for the doctors and nurses fighting for him. But there are some things that simply cannot be explained or measured in a lab.
There is no doubt that God is with Graham. We know that every prayer has been heard by Him, and He is answering us. With every day that holds uncertainty, we have faith.
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”
*~ Ephesians 3:20-21*
Please continue to keep Graham, Kayla, and Max in your thoughts and prayers as he continues through this phase of treatment. 🩵
