Update on Dylan

Update on my 15 year-old nephew Dylan:


He was in Cincinnati Children's Hospital from around June 10th to September 15th. He received chemo and radiation treatments. He also received physical therapy, occupational therapy, music therapy, recreational therapy and speech therapy.

Upon returning to Gallipolis in September he was placed into a physical rehab center. Unfortunately once he was there he started to go downhill, losing lots of the progress he had made in the therapies at Children's Hospital.


He is now back in Children's Hospital in Cincinnati due to breathing problems. His lungs are fine, it's his brain cancer messing with his brain stem that is stopping his breathing and once stopped his heart. He's been on and off a ventilator over the past two weeks but has now been off for four days. We are just waiting to see what happens next. If you pray, please pray, otherwise, send some positive thoughts and energy for Dylan and his family.
