Welcome to Drew's Web Page. It has been provided to keep people updated about Drew-B.
Drew was 4 years old when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, on April 22, 2004. This was also the 6th anniversary of our son's, Alex death. Drew was admitted to the hospital on April 22, 2004. On April 26, 2004 he had a successful surgery with approximately 98% tumor removal. On April 30, the pathology report confirmed the tumor was a Glioblastoma Multiforme. A very aggressive adult tumor, rarely seen in children.
Drew has a lifetime fight ahead of him. We are committed to finding a way to beat this horrid disease.

Thank You ALL so much for all the prayers, positive thoughts and well wishes. They worked it is CLEAN!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!! We are doing a MAJOR HAPPY HAPPY DANCE!!!!!!!!!!
We have NO idea what is going on with his arm and leg. We are working with the physical therapist to improve mobility in Drew's leg. The thought is that the Botox worked. However, it made the muscles feel so weak that other muscles over compensated for the unsteadiness and the muscles are now in a knot. The thought is to put his leg in a cast for a week to help stretch the muscles. The hope is after the cast comes off then Drew will be able to wear his brace with more success.
For now we can breath and sleep while he is at Camp Fantastic in 2 weeks!
Calli is now in a cast. Praise God! It has been an extremely long year for she and her family.
Please say some extra prayers for Stephen, Gunner, Hadley, Kasey, Katherine, Ellie, Liam, Amy, Kelly, Jacob and their families.
Your gift will help millions of people stay connected with friends and loved ones during challenging times.
