Hello everyone. Most of you who know my Mommy and Daddy have probably heard about the health issues I have recently been experiencing in my life. For those of you who don't, my Uncle Steve and Aunt April created this site for me so I could share my story...
I recently came down with a pretty bad bug (the doctors called it strep?) and my Daddy got it too. Then on the following Sunday, my Mommy noticed I was breathing pretty fast so she started counting the amount of breaths I took within a minute (she's pretty smart) and noticed something was wrong. I had to go to the hospital so the doctors could check me out. They decided that they thought I had more than a "touch" of pneumonia, put me in the ambulance and took me to another hospital (apparently this one was better). The doctors at the new hospital discovered fluid in my lungs. They decided to do surgery to drain the fluid, but later discovered that the fluid was blood. Then when they tried to determine what the cause was, they found a tumor in my diaphragm. They were able to take out a piece of the tumor and from what I've been hearing, I was a pretty calm kid throughout all of it :)
I had to go through lots of tests and scans which helped the doctors figure out that I had a form of muscle cancer (not cool), known as Rhabdomyosarcoma or RMS. RMS is a type of cancer that occurs in the soft tissues of the body like muscles (I took a page out of Aunt Kere's book :))
Now that they know what I have, we can start to treat it! Hopefully that will start any day now. I'm looking forward to it so I can get better and go back home with my Mommy, Daddy and my doggy Riley.
I would really appreciate it if everyone keeps on praying for me and my family because it seems to be working out pretty good. Thanks for checking out my story and thank you for your support.

Hi everyone,
