~~Spencer Griffin~~

Welcome to Spencer's Web Page. On August 21, 2000 we found out that our little man had Rhabdomyosarcoma. He was only 15 months old. We lived in the PICU for 4 months and on the regular Peds floor for 2 months. Spencer is our miracle and my testimony!

Spencer started chemo treatments on August 29, 2000 and finished on July 20, 2001. Sadly, we found out Thanksgiving 2001 that Spencer had relapsed. We started all over again January 2002. He went through chemo again January 7, 2002 until June 14, 2002 then went through 25 radiation treatments - July 17-August 20 2002. We re-started chemo again September 17-December 30, 2002! He has finally finished again and we pray that this will be the end!

**Sadly, we found out 1/9/06 Spencer has relapsed** 1/12/06 Spencer had surgery to remove the two new tumors. This surgery ended up being a pneumonectomy (removal of his total left lung), had some of his pericardium removed and two ribs removed. Spencer will undergo a minimum of six months chemotherapy.

*Please keep Spencer and our family in your prayers*.

Good morning everybody! I know another slack update....

Spencer is doing GREAT!! His scans came back CLEAR once again. What a BLESSING!

Spencer finished up with machine pitch. The girls finished up their cheerleading for football. Now, they are counting down the last days this week of school. Spencer was chosen to play for Allstars. They started practicing this past Monday night. I am SO PROUD of him!!! He hit the ball almost to the fence every time he was up to bat. He did an AWESOME job!!! He loves playing baseball and we love watching him!

Nothing much else is going on. Camp care is around the corner - the first week of July. Marleigh and Spencer are going again and are looking forward to it. Kendall will have us all to herself for that week.

Please continue to lift up all our ROH kids and their families...especially the ones in the PICU!!!

Thank-you all for your continued thoughts and prayers!!!

I will leave you with this:
"For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will He forsake his inheritance" Psalm95:14

Until next time....GOD BLESS!!!
