Trevor

Please continue to pray for our neighbor, Trevor. He is only 7 years old and he was just diagnosed with aplastic anemia 2 months ago. He is taking alot of medicines. He is getting alot of plasma and blood transfusions. He is not able to go to school because he has to stay away from large crowds. He has gained 22 pounds since he started the steroids. PLease pray that it is in God's Will that Trevor begin to produce the white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets on his own.

Here is a picture of Ryan and Trevor today. He tires very easily. All the kids got to play in the court today because it was a beautiful day. It is hard to believe it is December and almost Christmas. Where is the snow?

A friend of theirs is having a fundraiser for him to help with medical expenses and to show him support. This is from their caring bridge site.

ATTENTION!!!!!ATTENTION!!!!!ATTENTION!!!!
Molly Frogge, a friend of mine, has ordered silicone bracelets for Trevor. This will be a fundraiser for him. They are red and white to represent the red and white blood cells. They read: Together 4 Trevor on one side and Phil. 4:13 on the other side. If anyone would like to order these bracelets, you may contact me (davisl5@gcsnc.com), Molly Frogge (froggerx4@yahoo.com) or Tory Rule (trule@triad.rr.com). The price is $3.00 for each bracelet. They may also be shipped to you for an additional $1.00. You may also write a check. Make checks out to Leslie Davis. In the memo line put: Trevor Davis Fund
I would love to see people wearing these bracelets to help support Trevor and get him through this hard time. Together 4 Trevor

About the boys

As of 3/31/08

Ryan is 4 1/2 years old. He is in preschool and loves every minute of it. He loves to color and he loves Larry Boy, the superhero from Veggie Tales.

Jack is almost 3 and he is the aggressive one. He likes to pick on his older brother. Even though he picks on Ryan, he likes to do whatever his big brother does.

Evan is 4 months old but is the size of an average newborn. He was born 9 weeks early. He was only 1 lb 15 ounces and 12 1/2 inches long at birth.

All of the boys have had their medical issues.

Ryan was diagnosed at birth with hydrocephalus. He was shunted at 3 days old. That shunt failed at about a year old. That is when the docs performed a third ventriculostomy. That failed one month later and was redone. His last surgery was January 2009 when he was 5. He has MRI's annually to make sure the hydrocephalus is under control.

Jack was diagnosed at 3 months old with hydrocephalus. He was shunted immediately but that shunt failed at 7 months old. They performed a third ventriculostomy and he has not had another surgery since. He has MRI's once a year.

Evan was born Intrauterine Growth Restricted(IUGR). He was born at 31 weeks 3 days gestational age. He was only 1 lb 15 ounces and he spent almost 2 months in the NICU.
