~~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*.

**Once again, Thanksgiving 2008, we are saddened to find out that Spencer has relapsed. Please lift him and our family up during this difficult time.**

Hello, hello everybody! Hope this finds you all doing well! We are doing great.

Spencer news:
We really haven't had a lot going on. I guess you could say...no news is good news! Spencer is doing great! We left last Wednesday for the beach and came back on Sunday. Shipped Spencer, Marleigh and Kendall off to church camp on Monday of this week and they will be back tomorrow afternoon. I've actually missed the little devils! It has been REALLY quiet around here!

Well, Spencer was able to take this week off for chemo because of church camp. It's just being delayed a week. We go back in next Monday for his short day. Since it was delayed this week it may be the middle or end of July before chemo is finished. And, we hope to say GOODBYE to cancer FOREVER!!!!!

Hope you all are having a great summer. We plan on doing as much as possible to keep the kids from driving me crazy!

Please continue to remember all of our ROH kids and their families. Especially, the ones in the PICU!

I will leave you with this:
"O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth who hast set thy glory above the heavens"
Psalm 8:1

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