My nephew, named Rafael after the painter, is in the hospital. They've found a large tumor in his stomach, another one along his spine, and one in his nose. It's a rare form of cancer with low chances of survival.

He is the sweetest, most cuddly little man you'll ever meet. He's only 16 months old.


Mom is staying strong, researching alternative therapies to go along with the therapies he's getting at the childrens hospital. They live in a state where CBD oil treatment is legal. Dad is a wreck. He's completely broken down, and may have to be hospitalized himself if he loses his son. He'd never ask for this for himself, but I can assure you he needs your prayers as well. Big sister is only 3, but seeing dad like he is, now realizes there is something terribly wrong with her baby brother.

And of course, if you have any useful alternative therapy tips, leave them here in my thread: Thread: EMERGENCY: Prayers needed for a baby boy clinging to life. Update #6 and I'll pass it along.

Thank you.
