Update since Princeton's relapse
Princeton began his second round of treatment this week.  Praising God he is handling it so well.  His side effects are manageable with only diarhea and nausea.  Since his relapse, his treatment plan consists of 2 1/2 weeks of chemotherapy each month for the next six months followed by radiation.  

We ask that you join us in prayer on the following:
Princeton has been complaining of leg pain at the sight of the tumor.  He stumbles often when he walks and typically by the end of the first week of treatment, he has a hard time walking.  We pray we can find a solution to help ease the pain.  In addition, Princeton has scans July 31 to determine how effective the treatment is working to dissolve the tumor.  We pray there is incredible progress and the tumor will have completely dissipated.  

We are fervently praying that God would continue to touch Princeton's body and completely restore his health.  We know ALL things are possible through HIM.  As we embark on the second round of the this battle we realize it is not an inconvenience, but a privilege to be able to experience God and His many mercies and miracles in a more intimate way.  We are geared up and ready to fight this beast, Neuroblastoma again.  Ephesians 6:10-18 says, "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.  Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.  For our struggle in not against flesh and blood , but against the rulers against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.  Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.  Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.  In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.  And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.  With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints."

 Princeton was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of childhood cancer, in December 2011 at the age of 2. At diagnosis, the cancer had metastizized and was found throughout his body.  He underwent 15 months of intensive treatment at Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital, Orlando Florida. His treatment consisted of 6 rounds of high dose chemotherapy, 10 surgeries, a stem cell transplant, 12 rounds of radiation and 6 cycles of immunotherapy. The treatment was grueling and difficult for Princeton's small body to handle. He finished treatment in March 2013. June 2013, Princeton relapsed. He again underwent 6 rounds of chemotherapy and 12 rounds of radiation. He went into remission in April 2014.We  know God is greater than cancer and will cure him of this disease.  We are reminded in Jeremiah 30:17 "But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord."  God is the great physician and we know He will get the glory!  Thank you in advance for your prayers.

This website is designed to keep you informed on Princeton's progress and make donations to the family.  Treating Neruoblastoma is a full time job that requires long periods of hospital stays and travel.  Because this form of cancer is aggressive the treatment also has to be  aggressive.  The family appreciates your support and donations.
