Don't tread on me!

This is my problem. I have beenforcing hese tests for a year now
and different doctors just say it was a virus and it will pass.
Then after 20 or so doctors Appts pleading with them, I finally
BLEW UP when she had a 104.7 fever, then all of a sudden they are
caring... They are in BIG TROUBLE,but I am not concerned with
that until things are fixed. We will know a lot more next week

God Bless ALL of you, I only know Joel, but I hope to soon know
all of you guys. I am so blessed to have people like all of you.

You have no clue how much this means to me and my family. It is
a very trying time, andsupport is needed, and I got it.Thanks

That definitely not the news we were hoping for, but at least they are speeding up the process to try and figure it out. Hopefully the biopsy goes well and it helps them to find ways to combat the problem...

We are still rooting for you all...

Hi Kenny,

I am praying for your son and I hope it's not cancer. No child should have to go thought this.
You need to be strong for your son in his time of need and for your whole family.

Take care

Kenny-

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Be strong and take care---Kraig

With all the prayers from everywhere, I think everything should
be ok. To have 30 tumors in her body is so darn scary, I have
vomited a few times from convoulsively shaking from crying (by
myself, away from eeryone of course)
I am the backbone of this family, if I cry, everybody else cries.
I cannot let them do that. To see my wife cry instantly makes me
ball up and that is no good. I am a very family oriented person
and with encouragement like this, I can be stronger. You all
know I will not forget this, the kindness, everything you all
have done. I cant even express how I feel about you all coming
together to try to help a stranger. Thanks from the bottom of my
heart

One day we will all be judged for te things we have done here on
Earth. I know I will have A LOT to talk about, but I know if I
keep being who I am, I will be forgiven. I have been through a
lot of things in my life and ths has made me stronger willed to
be here fo my famiy and not run away just because they cannot
handle it. It really sucks to hear those types of stories, but I
am not that. Not one bit. I know god hs a plan for her.

Wow, Kenny, I just read your post below and now this one! I'm so sorry, brother! If there is anything I can do to help don't be afraid to ask.

I'm not sure what I have to offer (plus we are pretty far apart - I'm in Minnesota), but anything that is within my ability to pull off, I'll gladly do.

You and your family will be in my prayers for sure!

"...I say 'apparently' because despite all our progress she is not at all a tame or handle-able snake and gettting her from that cage would re-start a war.. and we've had a good armistice for several months now."-Gus Rentfro - I love this quote!

Kenny,
Best of luck with your girl; we have been working to clean our son's system for close to a year. Most of these Autistic children have a number of toxins in their system that they are unable to clear by themselves. Keep us posted and if you want to read about what we are doing for our son, please check the link below and feel free to contact me. Good luck and our prayers are with you!

That they are not cancerous. I hope your little girl pulls through this, this breaks my heart Kenny. I know you're a good guy and nobody ever deserves to go through this. Your girl is very very brave!!
