Still in my prayers, thank you Connie for the update. Please keep us posted! I'd love to do something!

Brian and his family will continue to be in our prayers!  Such great news!  I am sure everyone is breathing just a wee bit better!
Comment by Connie(Memphis Belle) on March 18, 2011 at 12:22am

oh mommas!!  i talked to Sharon (AuxLady) earlier and Emory Univ. Hospital has done a reevaluation on Brian and a revised diagnosis of Lymphocytic Leukemia and the doctors told Brian's dad that there is an 85% cure rate!!!  PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Brian still has a long road ahead of him. He will definitely be in the hospital for 27 more days and will be on a 27 day rotation of chemo.

yes Sharon is still crying,  yes she is worried sick and yes she wants to be with her son more than anything in this world BUT Sharon knows the power of prayer!!!  Boy Howdy! i'd say!!!

the family members never leave Brian's side.  they are working with the hospital to find more suitable and affordable accommodations.

this is all the definite news i have for now....i have read your posts...and you bet it's going to be a horrific toll on the family in so many ways.

i encouraged Sharon to do two things now....start a blog (she doesn't know how but has a friend who can show her) and go to the bank and tell them what has happened and maybe they can tell her about setting up a fund for all the expenses the family is facing. i really don't know anything about either one of those two suggestions but i had to put something "out there" for her to do while she is home alone.

Sharon's page is open on N4Ms and i believe even if you aren't a "friend" you can still post well wishes and encouraging words to her.  i had one of my Navy mom friends try it and it worked.

i will check back with you as soon as i know more.

i also suggested that Sharon log onto N4Ms as soon as she felt like it and see the responses...i read one to her to let her know what she is missing....she was blown away!

I was thinking of caringbridge also. It is a free site for family to use to keep other family and friends up to date.

I know the American Cancer Society helps cancer patients in many ways.  That may be 1 place for the family to talk with to ask for help also.  I am no where near Atlanta so can't do much physically, but will be praying. The hospital may have a hotel or apartment that the family can use for a while also.  Please let us know when you have new information.

Connie, please share this information on the "Moms of Faith" group also.  Prayer is the focus of the group.

Where is the mom? Is anyone close to her? She is going to need a lot of support too. oh, I just feel awful! What can I do?
Comment by Carol(ship12 Div.091) on March 17, 2011 at 7:59pm
if we would like to donate because we can't be there where can we send it?  I am clear on the other side of the continent.  But their expenses are going to be horrific.  Can we setup something for them?
Comment by MKL K'BUNK ~ Mom Of Bill on March 17, 2011 at 7:23pm
Connie and All N4M's...Family...here's where this network can help them all..take some time to put it all together...we can help them all... let me make some calls and see what I can find out...I have an idea ...I shall return when I get some answers to share....
