The Wesson family (pictured below under "Thanksgiving pictures") took an emergency trip to the U.S on Saturday. Their 8 year-old son, Stephen, had a sore throat on Friday and they took him to the doctor. The doctor called them Friday evening and told them to take him immediately to the emergency room. They had done bloodwork and it came back showing his blood platelets were extremely low. The doctor ordered an immediate blood transfusion and told them it may possibly be leukemia.
They flew out at 7:00 a.m. Saturday. Upon arrival at the hospital in Miami, they gave him a blood transfusion. They transferred him to Houston, TX so that Josh and Joy could be near family to help take care of the other 3 children.
Yesterday they did a bone marrow test and it was confirmed that Stephen has Acute Lymphatic Leukemia. They already gave him a shot of chemo and will continue the treatments.
Pray for the Wesson family that God will help them during this difficult time and give them wisdom to make future decisions.
They knew Stephen had been sort of tired the past few weeks but they thought it was because he was still recovering from Dengue fever, which he had about a month ago. No doubt this has changed their world.
