Todd

September 20, 2009

On Friday night I got a call from my Dad. He told me that he had terrible news, and I could tell in his voice that it was really bad. He went on to tell me that my oldest brother had just been diagnosed with Leukemia. It hit me like a ton of bricks! It just doesn't seem real. Leukemia is what kids get, not adults. I can't stop thinking about him, his wife and sweet little baby. I just want to wake up from this horrible dream. I am so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Without the comfort of my Savior, it would be unbearable.

He has ALL Leukemia which is a rapid spreading version of the Cancer. Without treatment he would only have weeks or months to live. He began Chemotherapy today and faces 8 months of it to knock it out. His version of it is most seen in children, and some adults over 65. He is rare.
He is going to kick this!!! He is strong!
Todd is the greatest guy you could ever meet. Everyone who knows him loves him. He is and always has been one of those people who makes the world a better place.
Please pray for him, pray for us. I believe in Miracles!
