Hey Dylan and family!
I am a member on the SB message board and from there found your website. My daughter Nadia and Dylan share the same birthday- January 29, 2004!! But Nadia seems to be about 12 hours younger :) You are a cutie, especially in that snow suit having so much fun on the snow tube carosel!
I'll be praying for you as you work to find the right Miralax dose and all the "fun" that comes with it!
stop by our Caringbridge site and leave a message for us too! www.caringbridge.org/va/nadia

Hello Karen. Glad to hear Dylan is doing great! We too had tx as LPCH. My son, Matthew was 23months though. He is doing great and will have been NED for 2 years in Aug. We are going to the conference in Chicago-I don't know if you have ever gone but you are able to get a wealth of information.

We hope and pray all remains great!! P.S. we too went to Hawaii in Dec.

Love & Prayers,

Wow! I just stumbled upon your page and read your history. We have similar cases! It isn't very often I find other caringbridge neuroblastoma sites with babies diagnosed under 1 year old.

My son Carson was born March 21, 2004 and diagnosed with Neuroblastoma August 23, 2004 at 5 months old. He didn't have any symptoms; I just requested a scan b/c his belly was so big and they found it. He completed chemo/surgery in Nov/Dec '04 and has been cancer-free since. He also has physical therapy; he didn't put weight on his legs at all until he was 9 months old. However, they are dismissing him b/c his is age-appropriate now and took his first few steps a few days after turning 15 months! He still prefers crawling right now, but takes more and more steps everyday. His website is www.caringbridge.org/ks/babycarson if you would like to look. I'll bookmark your site and keep track of Dylan. What a cutie!!

Hi Guys!
Just read your latest entry and fell in love with the final few paragraphs. What a wonderfully fresh perspective. I think your friend nailed it on the head. We are so looking forward to spending time with you guys in the near future and rejoice often in Dylan's continuing recovery. Always know that we, and many others, continue to pray and think of your family often, and that we love you guys with all our hearts. Shane and I can relate to watching the little one blossom and grow right before our eyes. Tavito is the most beautiful blessing that God has bestowed upon us, yet, and we are eternally grateful. Anyways, thanks for your continued strength and for taking the time to update your journal for those of us who love to check in with ya'.

Glad the MRI went so well! I'm sorry you're facing more chemo - I know how disappointed you must feel. But you've got the right attitude - the less tumor that's left to resect, the better!! I'll be praying that Dylan gets through these last 2 rounds with no complications and that the chemo kicks that tumor's butt ;)

Dallas, TX USA - Monday, April 19, 2004 11:01 AM CDT

Karen & Ken,
We're praying the results of the MRI are that the tumor has shrunk and it can be removed. We pray that Dylan fights off the infection and that you have a special Easter celebration. Here's a definition I found for Easter:
"Dreaming about Easter, suggests that the worst of your problems are over. You will experience joy again after a period of darkness and sadness. You need to walk with your head held high and stop being ashamed. Alternatively, the dream symbolizes resurrection and spiritual rebirth."

Dearest baby Dylan,

So sorry to hear you're not feeling good fighting infection. You're a very brave and strong baby. Fight the bad guys with all the strength you have. Your mommy and daddy are doing everying to help you and you have many many friends cheering you on and praying for you. Your friend Samantha can't wait to see you and play with you. Please tell your mom to let us know if there is anything we can do to make you feel better.

I'm very comfortable in a hospital setting and understand your need for peace of mind. Take care, god bless.

What a beautiful baby! So much hair! And such a big baby too!
I was sorry to hear that your family is going through such a difficult time now. You are truly blessed with so many friends and family and I am sure they will help you get through this tough time. You have always been such a wonderful friend to everyone that I'm sure in your time of need all that love will return to you.
Most people will walk into a room full of people and head toward the most popular person or the easiest person to talk to. It always amazed me that you would walk into a room and head toward the person who looked the most like they needed talking to, whether they were uncomfortable, bored or whatever. You are so selfless in your giving and that is part of what makes you such a special person.
My family is keeping you and your family in our prayers. God bless!

Mina shared your site as she knows I work as a researcher developing a web-based support site for family caregivers of people with cancer. I also have some personal experience with this as well. Any way, I saw your site and just wanted to let you know you and sweet little Dylan are in my prayers, and I'm so glad to see you are able to get the support you need. Keep reaching out - there are so many people there to help you (even people you wouldn't have known all the way out in Wisconsin!). Take care and my best wishes for Dylan's recovery. -Lori

Karen and family,
I wish that I could hug you all and give Dylan a few extra kisses!! (He's cuter than you Karen ;)) So "be strong" little one..."be strong." May angels surround you and all your family. I will check the website often and keep all positive thoughts heading north (and by the looks of this guest book, you have positive thoughts hitting you from every direction!!). Keep singing Karen keep singing...."music has a way of reaching into the hidden corners of the mind and heart and stirring a soul."

The wonderful outpouring of love you are recieving really goes to show how wonderful people you are. You recieve ten-fold the joy and love you give out.

Hey Dylan,

It's so cool that I have a new buddy to hang out with. Remind me to tell you the secrets of driving your parents crazy. Here's a good one for starters. Wait until they are lifting their forks to take their first bite of dinner, then wake up and start crying. Do this every night for a week. I guarantee it will drive them nuts and make them think you have ESP! We are gonna have so much fun, I can't wait!!
Lots of love, Jack Wetherill <jack@wetherill.net>

Sasha,

I can't wait to see you and hear your stories about you and your strong brother. I heard your Dad bang on some drums a couple of times, but I never heard him sing. Does he sing well? Tell your Mom and Dad hi and we are keeping Dylan and you in our prayers.

It so wonderful to see how well Dylan is responding to the excellent care and support he has. He looks just like you two, he is soooo adorable I can see how you fell instantly in love with him. Thanks for keeping us in the loop of emails. There are many people on the East Coast who you don't even know who are thinking about and praying for all of you. Since I can't cook for you, I will continue to be there in spirit!

Hey Karen, Ken,

Dylan is looking pretty good. It's remarkable how strong they can be. Ours were in intensive care for a month and had all kinds of surgery the first two years. And they were so sickly. Now they surf 10 foot waves and girls chase them everywhere. Well, one of them, anyway. One is still being chased. The other one got caught and is happily married. It's an adventure. It's a rugged world we live in sometimes. You have many friends and family members praying for you.

I'm keeping all of you and your families in my thoughts as you support Dylan through this fight. I'm so happy to read that he's responding so clearly to your presence - that's sure to help him heal and come home as soon as possible. Thanks for including me on this email.
Peace, Mina
