Family needs a prayer, friend's kid is on his last legs

[no4njnk]

One of my friend's kids was diagnosed with a rare cancer and looks like he is about out of time. The parents noticed he was always leaning his head to one side so they took him in to the doctor to get checked out and they heard the news no parents want to hear. The doctors gave their kid less than a 10% chance to live with treatment so instead of making him go through the painful treatment that would probably not save him they decided to bring him home to spend as much time with family. They gave Otto about 2 months to live and a little over a month his body is shutting down. Shortly they will have to do what no parent wants to do, bury a kid. Being so close to Christmas does not make it any easier.

Below is a link to their journal about the process. Be sure to grab some Kleenex.

Most people have no idea about the family but almost everything has heard what the mom did in the past. After 9/11 a bunch of Aggies thought it would be a good idea to have the fans at the football game wear red, white, or blue depending on what deck they were sitting. She was the key player getting this organized.

Sorry to hear this Kyle. We'll be praying.

My wife has a friend going through a similar situation with their child. Their blog is hard to read most days

[chuckacosta]

I just can't even imagine what they are going through.

[no4njnk]

I have it easy, if it gets too bad reading this I can step away. They have to live through this.

Sorry to hear about your wife's friend Matt, we are at the age where most of our friends are having kids or had kids. People need to realize how lucky they are to have a healthy child.

Stuff like this is so sad. I got those same words one day when the doctor came out to see us and she was crying. Then she told us that "LIL" John had AML (cancer) and our lives were a mess from that point on. So I know what these people are going through and its pure torture.
I couldnt read there caringbridge page because I know what they are all about because we had one.

We were lucky because my son beat cancer but its sad to see all the kids that dont. God bless them.
