My baby cousin has leukemia and is very bad health. Please pray for him.

actually, please pray for his father and mother, since he has already been baptised.

I will be glad to. The poor parents will be suffering a convulsive grief beyond words.

I also pray that your family is consoled by many, many Holy Angels.

Are the doctors able to do anything?

You and your family have been through a lot lately. I wish I had some great words of wisdom for you, but all I can offer is a little lame advice from Winston Churchill:

"When you're going through hell...keep going."

Thank you for asking.

I'm not entirely sure, as I do not live close to them (my family is in a self-imposed Californian exile.... the rest live in Texas). My mother has been gone for about a month, taking care of my cousin in the hospital since his father needs to work and his mother doesn't speak English. She will be coming home in a few weeks I think.

He is currently going through chemotherapy, but the doctors say that his state is very precarious. He is doing better now, I have been told. But the doctors said about a week ago that due to a blood infection (or something I'm not sure of) his stomach could burst if the condition gets worse, which would put him in a very grave, if not fatal condition. I would say that he is still in grave danger, as his condition could worsen at any time.

I've started a novena to Saint Joseph for him.

I found out yesterday that his leukemia is "in remission". Thank you Saint Joseph!

Please continue to keep him in your prayers, since the fight is not yet over! Thank you.

UPDATE:

He is having a biopsy tomorrow on his bone (not sure which one). He cannot sit or stand, walk, etc. Please pray.

Your little cousin is in my prayers, and Annie continues to be in my prayers.

Any word on this baby, Vladimir?

Still

I'm really ashamed to say that I haven't thought about my cousin lately...I'm barely managing my daily rosary now that I'm back in school from Christmas break...

But I have heard that he is now "stable", but will have to continue chemotherapy for a while... Thank you so much for your prayers.

As soon as you find out something concrete, please let us know.

Every night I recite a prayer for the sick from a TAN booklet on my patron saint, St. Jude Thaddeus, and I slip in your cousin in the list of those for whom I pray.
