UPDATE 6.17.25
🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🕊️ ☀️
Please pray for Landon’s Kidneys and gut. His kidneys shut down last time they had to give him meds to keep the virus under control and his gut has ulcers all the way up and down.
We are waiting on a few labs (if Jeff’s t-cells can help is one) but we need to move forward treating a Landon with the same meds that landed him in the ICU for this adenovirus that resurfaced due to low immune system. They said if the virus gets out of control, it will be catastrophic for Landon. Worse than the side effects we have been dealing with from treating it. We aren’t sure how much his kidneys will be damaged because they took a major hit with the last two treatments.
He is still on dialysis…but it won’t filter that med 😕 but it can help with fluid intake and output.

If Jeff’s cells react to the Adenovirus, they will be collected next week but a week is too long to wait without treatment to help Landon fight this.

Landon may also have TA-TMA. A transplant complication that is treatable but we can’t treat it until after the treatment for this virus.

Landon still isn’t mentally with us. No I live you’s, no kisses, so far sleeping for the 3rd day but he needs it. He is having trouble keeping his airway clear so we are managing by manual suction. He is coughing well so that’s a plus.

Landons liver is looking a little better on ultrasound but the labs are still climbing. Balancing liver recovery with all this is delicate balance. Bilirubin is still climbing along with a few other liver labs but a lot has happened over the past few days that would stress it.

He has bruises from the EEG (brain monitor) which he didn’t get the first time but, his platelets have been low because of everything so he gets injured more easily.

I am scared. Trying to be strong. Praying God will hear our prayers and get Landon through this. 🙏🏼 We have had little wins here and there.

❤️‍🩹Discharge from his G-tube is less bloody so is his stomach pump.
❤️‍🩹Chest x rays have Looks es better each day.
His stomach isn’t as tight.
❤️‍🩹The drain in his abdomen is putting less fluid off which means his liver is handling fluid a little better.
❤️‍🩹Landon is still peeing on dialysis which is a good sign the kidneys are still working. However, not good in the sense this viral med will get to the kidneys because of that so, his kidneys will be effected by this med.
❤️‍🩹Landon is moving his tongue a little more and helping us suction.
❤️‍🩹Landons vitals overall are good.
❤️‍🩹Landon hasn’t had any additional bacterial or fungal infections despite his extremely low immune system and so many things in his body.

I read a great book a while ago about these sisters who went through the Holocaust and the one sister said to thank God for everything, even the fleas. Turns out, the fleas were actually saving them from the wrath of the German soldiers and they were able to read their Bible without them knowing and keep hope and faith alive in the darkest of times.
So, we will thank God for the “fleas”. All glory to God. He knows the plan and we are helpless.

It’s just going to be a day to day battle.
Thank you for praying 🙏🏼 and spiritually fighting with us.
Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy.

Landon has been fighting hard. On Sunday he will have been in the hospital 8 weeks. He got VOD, a liver complication. Once he recovered from that he got graph vs host disease of the gut. He has suffered set back after set back. We do have a lot to be thankful for, it’s just been a very heavy cross. He is depressed and withdrawn and nothing we do is cheering him up. Friends helped us get a traditional preist, Father Quinn Gomez, from the local FSSP, to come and talk with Landon. He was so wonderful. He brought Landon Holy Communion and gave him the sacrament of Extreme Unction (anointing of the sick). He spoke with Landon about The Book of Job and Joseph and his cloak. He asked Landon to offer his suffering for sinners and to save souls. He really spent time with Landon. He spoke about how sometimes suffering isn’t fair, but God can use it for good and God has a plan for Landon. I wish Father could know the happy, cheerful Landon but, Landon was pretty quiet. He listened though. The Latin version of these sacraments is just beautiful. He was so thoughtful and intentional. Thank God for these priests. 🙏🏼 Pray for them. Have mercy on us O’Lord. For the sake of your sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. 🙏🏼

I know I have not updated in a while. Our boy is fighting so hard. The bone marrow transplant has been brutal. He got diagnosed with a liver complication called VOD and we are now on week 6 in the hospital. He is finally starting to come out of it I think. St. Carlo, Ora Pro Nobis. Our Lady of Lourdes, Ora pro Nobis. Lord, heal my boy and let this be the end to 8 years of suffering. Please let this be his cure 🙏🏼 AMEN. Please share and pray for my sweet boy.

Landon’s 12th Birthday is April 4th and Easter the day after and he will spend another birthday in the hospital andi pray this is his last spent in a hospital. Sacred heart of Jesus, have mercy on us 🙏🏼.

Update 2.23.26

Here this morning. Getting a lumbar puncture with chemotherapy and a G tube placed. Landon can’t eat for 24hours! He is going to be a grouch! He will be admitted overnight and he will get immunotherapy tomorrow then we can go home. 🙏🏼 Praying for Bo Leukemia in the spinal fluid and no compilations or infections.
Landon will have a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy next week. We pray this immunotherapy did its job and he is back to ZERO so we can head to transplant. 🙏🏼
Thank you for praying.
Landon is feeling good and being his usual silly and sweet self. 🥰 Thanking God for all the blessings we have everyday.
*** Landon needs some kind of feeding tube for transplant. That’s why we are getting it now.

June 2024…. We had the honor and privilege to visit Lourdes, France 🇫🇷 As some of you may know, my son is still battling Leukemia. Although my son was not healed, we are so glad we got to go. Sometimes, when I am so stressed, I close my eyes and think of being there. I still can’t believe we were there. I put one of Landon’s hospital bracelets in the stone of the grotto asking Our Lady to watch over him and cover him in her mantle. Look at my beautiful children praying in such a holy place and my son Landon serving the Archbishop of Italy!!! What beautiful blessings that have been bestowed on my family. Today is the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes and Landon will be receiving a new immunotherapy. I am praying she watches over him and protects him from any life threatening side effects 🙏🏼. Our Lady always leads us to her son. She is OUR Mother in heaven. Our Lady of Lourdes, Ora Pro Nobis.
