Welcome to Daniel's Web


On November 10, 2001, our lives were turned upside down when our 3 year
old little boy Daniel was diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer, called Stage IV Neuroblastoma.
He had very extensive metastic disease throughout his body, and the biology of his particular cancer
had all the unfavorable prognostic indicators. He was given a 20% chance of survival.
Since diagnosis, Daniel has amazed us all with his courage, as he has bravely endured numerous treatments, including 5 rounds of high dose chemotherapy, a nine hour surgery, stem cell (bone marrow) transplant, radiation, antibody treatments and more. We are very blessed to be able to say that today Daniel is a happy and healthy 10 year old boy, and May 2009 marked 7 years of remission for Daniel.
He is a miracle and our very precious gift from God.




Please be sure to sign Daniel's guestbook.

DARE TO BE A DANIEL

Now Daniel served the living God,
And prayed to Him each day.
But evil people hated him-
To them he caused dismay.

For Daniel, with his prayers to God.
His enemies upset.
The death decree the king had signed,
yet soon came to regret.

Into a den of hungry lions,
Poor Daniel then was cast.
And with a stone they sealed the top-
they thought he wouldn't last.

The hungry lions growled and roared!
The angel shut their mouths!
Shut them with God's restraining bands-
A wonder to the crowds.

But God saved him by Angel hands:
Preserved his life complete.
Then King Darius pulled him out,
While praising God's great feat.

I was asked at the checkpost
whether I was carrying any weapons.
I replied --oh yes, my prayer books".

Hello!

It's been a very long time since I've posted any updates so thought it was time since Daniel is 18! I am glad to see that his story continues to inspire people who are battling difficult situations. I remember how those stories kept us going with hope while we were in the fight.

I am so proud to say that Daniel will be going to Iowa State this fall, in the chemical engineering program. He is an Eagle Scout. He has letters in cross country, track, and academics. And best of all he is just a really classy guy. We could not be any more proud of him!

To all of you who are in the battle trenches, never give up hope!
