Asking for prayers for a little boy

I've been on iVillage since mid-1998 when I was pregnant with Allison. I joined the Parent's Place Nov 1998 Expecting Club and befriended many women there. Sheri is one of the women I feel a special affinity with - while she lives in Canada, she's my age, her posts were always relaxed with humor scattered freely throughout, she has an easy-going parental style which parallels mine, she's still with her first husband and they are obviously happily married, she likes easy recipes, likes being a kid with her kids... you get the picture.

Well, her 4-year-old son Mason (her reason for posting on the Expecting Club five years ago) had been having leg pains and they got so bad that he was walking with a pronounced limp. Nothing would control the pain, and they finally got him to the ER to run some tests. They found Mason has a form of luekemia. The bright spot in all of it is that it appears it's been caught early, though he'll be undergoing the full treatment with chemo. Here's the details if you wish to read it from Sheri: http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-ppplaynov98n&msg=56877.1

Please offer up prayers for this dear little boy and his family, mom Sheri, dad Rick and big brother Taylor. Petition for God's healing touch upon him. This could happen to any of us with kids, and it just rips your heart out.

I've already said a prayer for Mason and his family and will continue to do so. I just can't imagine how horrible this must be for them and hope I never have to know firsthand.

Prayers on the way for Mason. I hope for a happy ending for Mason and his family. I can't stand to hear of a child in pain. Thanks for telling us about this, Cussette.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Poor baby. It's hard when they're so little. I'll definitely keep him in my thoughts and prayers.
