Riley is coming home.

Bob you know he will be in a better place. After living in the hospital for over two years it is time for him to come home. He has endured more than most of us do in a lifetime in just a short period of time. God will take him with open arms as he does with all the innocent ones.

God Bless Riley and my prayers are with him.

Gene

Bob,
My thoughts and prayers to you and your family during such a trying time.
As a parent myself,  I can't imagine the difficulty and the choices to be made during this time.
I'm sure he will find much comfort at home with his family and that surely must be better than
the effects of Chemo.
I speak from a personal experience I had as a teen when I say that he will find a loving and peaceful place beside the Lord.  

I will continue to pray for everyones comfort.

I am so very sorry to hear of this. I don't come to this part of the board often, so this was news to me. Late in 2007 there was something wrong with my 18 month old daughter's blood work. Abnormal cells were found, white blood cell count was elevated. Every scenario was going through my head....my only child, who I love more than anything EVER....might be very sick, and there was nothing that I could do. I felt so helpless, so sickened. I made some promises that I'd do this or that if she'd just be alright. Well, after weeks of tests they found out that it's NOT Leukemia but a stubborn virus in her system that's similar to Mono.

I've kept my promises, and changed in a few ways for the better. I enjoy my time that I spend with her more, and I don't take her for granted. My heart truly goes out to you and every person who has the burden that you now have. I will say a prayer for you and your family tonight. I don't cry for many things, and I can't believe that I could cry for a stranger, so I guess that you are not.

Having lost a child, this post was hard for me to read. My prayers are with you and Riley and Riley's family during this impossibly painful time. We knew for about 6 months that we were going to lose our son. It didn't make it any easier when the time came. I'm so sorry.
