Sir Buckwheat Report post Posted April 4, 2011 I have some good friends who found out about a month ago that their 9 year old son, Baxter "Bear", has been diagnosed with T-Cell ALL ( Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia ). If you could all keep him in your thoughts and prayers I would appreciate it. I can't imagine having to go through this myself, much less having to watch one of my children suffer through it. We've also set up a page on Facebook if those of you who are on Facebook want to "like" the page and see more detail I'll post the link below. Also they have a couple of fundraisers to help the family with the cost of fighting this terrible disease. You can access them on the page... Thanks everyone!

Sir Buckwheat Report post Posted April 5, 2011 Thanks Bonecollector. I can't begin to imagine what its like for them. Bear's Dad commented yesterday that they were in the hospital waiting room and when I asked what for he said "Just a spinal tap and bone marrow sample...you know normal stuff." Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers on their behalf. I know they appreciate them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redman Report post Posted April 5, 2011 Tried to look at the FB page, but the link does not appear to be working. Hopefully that nasty disease can be knocked into remission and Bear will be just fine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Buckwheat Report post Posted April 6, 2011 Tried to look at the FB page, but the link does not appear to be working. Hopefully that nasty disease can be knocked into remission and Bear will be just fine! Sorry about that, I don't know why it isn't working. If you search for "Fight Like a Bear" you'll find it. The kids name is Baxter "Bear" Blaney. He just went in for a minor surgery yesterday to put a permanent cath in under his skin just below the collar bone. He ate a couple of popsicles and went home. Tough kid and has had a pretty good attitude about it all. Like I mentioned too they have a couple of fundraisers going trying to help the family out with the staggering cost of fighting for Bear's life. If you could spare a few bucks I know it will help them out. Bear's dad isn't the type to ask for help but I guess thats why we all have friends, to take up the slack when we need help. I know they appreciate all the thoughts and prayers that you all are sending out. One lady is running a half marathon this summer in Bear's honor and is working to find sponsors for her run. It never ceases to amaze me how giving people can be... Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers on Bear's behalf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
