Blessing for Baby
I read this on my friend Melanie's Face book and I wanted to share this with all of you.....
About two months ago one of my face book friends posted a very distressing status. They found a tumor on her six month old sons liver. She did a great job keeping her friends and family updated via face book. Keep in mind I have not seen or spoken to this woman in nearly twenty years. For some reason this families story touched me. At first I would check up on Tyson every week, then twice a week. As this families story started to unfold I became more concerned. Tyson seemed to be having a rough go of it and his family was still keeping us updated....it seemed like any time she could, his mother was posting info. I was amazed that she had the strength to do so, after all, dealing with chemo-treatments and a sick baby who was fighting for his life.
I soon came to realize that the reason I was feeling such a connection to this family was due to my own young children. Tyson's story was reminding me how precious life and my children are. He had become a wake up call for me and His mother was slowly turning into a hero in my eyes. Her courage is conveyed in her posts and updates. I appreciate her honesty and details about Tyson's health. She and her husband seem so dedicated to their friends and family even though they are the ones who need support.
recently I started checking up on Tyson daily. He had some complications during a surgery that left him in a bit of trouble, this was last thursday the 17th. he and his mother where transported to Stanford in case he needed a liver transplant. I learned from a post yesterday that Tyson will need a transplant with in 48-72 hours and they have no donors available. This afternoon I learned that his mother is going to give him half of her liver in hopes that her son will survive. Trust me this little boy, now 8 months has been fighting the whole time. He has endured things that some of us could never imagine. Some times his mom would include in her posts how he would smile, chat to himself or laugh. These are things I know longer take for granted. There is no price to heavy for the life of your child! Tyson is a miracle and his mother is my hero!
I am asking all my friends and especially mama's to send prayers, blessings, energies and positive thought in Tyson's direction...whatever it is that holds your faith...This family needs your support
All you mama's out there for a moment try to put yourself in Tyson's mama's shoes! lets pull are varied religions together to keep a candle burning for Tyson. I can not imagine what it must be like to go through cancer treatments with your 6-8 month old. PLEASE PRAY for this family THANK YOU
Please join me in praying for Tyson,his amazing mommy and their family.
Thank You!
