Wylie’s Story

Site created on September 3, 2018

On September 1st,  our little Wylie was diagnosed with a malignant kidney tumor and was rushed to Mayo Clinic for medical care. After several days of reducing blood pressure and preparing a medical plan, Wyle will have his right kidney removed and will be on chemotherapy into the future.  Updates on Wyle's condition will be made available on this site. We ask for many prayers in the weeks and months to come. If you would like to help, we are fundraising for his parents, Tovah and Brent, to meet medical expenses , travel/food/lodging costs, and loss of income from their recently opened Decorah store, Lulu & BBs.

Journal entry by Brent Steinhöfer

Its been a while since we have last posted but today marks week nine in Wyle’s chemo treatments. So far he seems to be tolerating them well, aside from the nausea and occasional diaper rash. We are still making our weekly road trips to Rochester where we are becoming regulars at Canadian Honker and Jimmy Johns. We don’t look forward to a lot of winter driving but I can say everyone at Mayo is just amazing. We continue to meet some very uplifting families who are going through similar treatments with their “babies”. We remain very optimistic as does the medical staff and recognize that even though this is the worst thing we have ever had to deal with that there are others out there with a much bigger hill to climb. 
Thanks again for all the prayers, thoughts and well wishes it will never be forgotten. We promise to pass it forward and look to the day that we can put this behind us and do what we can to help and support other families going through similar bouts with cancer.
