A New Plan
The last few days have been full of changes. When looking for the source of infection, we obtained a ct scan of Levi’s abdomen. Unfortunately, what we found was that instead of infection, the cancer has now spread to his liver and peritoneum. The cancer is what is causing the build up of fluid in his belly (ascites), and this is putting pressure on his lungs which is making it harder to breathe without support. This was definitely unexpected and has led to a change of plans.
Levi will be receiving chemotherapy both today and tomorrow to hopefully stop the cancer from leaking fluid into the abdomen. This, plus possibly some drainage of the fluid if needed, will help as we hope to get the breathing tube out in a few days. For now, we are praying the chemo is hard on the cancer, easy on Levi’s healthy cells and that it works quickly to allow Levi to start feeling better.

My dearest Levi, Beth, & Zach. I am praying that things get better. Nasty cancer go away. Levi wants to go out & play. Thank goodness for all the Doctors & nurses working with our little hero.
So sorry to hear of this update. Hugs and prayers for you all!!!
What a great picture of the love your family has for each other. Even when times are tough you shine for your family. Levi is definitely amazing and a reflection of the love that has always showered on him by his parents, brother and all of the rest of your family. I remember Levi’s baptism, what a great support of family he had that day too! Love you all, Bob and Lorrie Gods blessings now and forever
