My 18 y/o son has been battling DIPG for the last 14 months. He was always optimistic, enthusiastic, his pretty smile never departed his face. He struggled to persue his senior year, was looking forward to graduate to enjoy prom... He even has his college acceptance ready for him for the coming fall... Life has decided differently, things have become pretty hard & today he's enduring most of the symptoms you describe. <br />We pray for you Rachel, keep on fighting, you're not alone in this. We look forward to your next post always hoping it will be a brighter one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13399955765305655321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461077598805122587.post-51118502491984625492015-07-09T18:38:19.726-07:002015-07-09T18:38:19.726-07:00I've followed your blog for a long time.

Your blog has helped me through some really tough nights and from reading your blog it's clear that you've done the same for many other people as well. We've mirrored your trips to St. Jude, the RMH, and to our local Children's hospital. It's hard. But like you, Ethan has maintained his faith and his sense of humor along the way, he's still who he's always been. We're faithful people and I we believe there's truth in God's will, even if we don't always understand. I know Ethan would want me to tell you that you're not alone, that he sends his love and his prayers - and that you matter to a lot of people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461077598805122587.post-19360097818507879472015-07-08T05:09:45.526-07:002015-07-08T05:09:45.526-07:00We are praying for you sweet girl, I'm sorry t...We are praying for you sweet girl, I'm sorry that it's so hard.
