Jason's Battle with Leukemia
Thursday morning, May 28, 2008, Jason woke up with bad cramps in his stomach. He rushed to the bathroom and began throwing up blood. So much blood that his mom decided to rush him to the emergency room. As they were walking into the hospital, Jason passed out. A hospital employee rushed out and brought him in. They proceeded to give him x-rays and tests to see what was wrong.
Then he was rushed into an ambulance to the Phoenix Children's Hospital. When he got there, they had to give him a blood transfusion because he had lost so much blood.
After further tests were performed on his blood, it was revealed that Jason was inflicted with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia also known as AML. Out of the people diagnosed with this disease, only 10-12% are children. Luckily we live in a day and age where these things are treatable, but not with ease. Tomorrow morning he will have his first surgury to insert tubes into his main arteries so that his chemo can be administered through the lines instead of having to be injected with needles multiple times. After his surgury, he will be given his first dose of chemo.
Please everyone, keep him and his family in your prayers. They will need them. It is such a tragedy to see such a sweet innocent child have to suffer through something like this. So everyone, please hug your children today. They are precious gifts from God.
