Little friend with brain tmour

Poor little boy.

So sad Mishap my heart goes out to the family and this little boy,we raise funds for Ronald McDonald House where families can stay with their children it also provides overnight stays for mums & dads who have prem children and a quite room for the children and their parents when they need time to themselves such a good cause,god bless this little man and I hope things go well for him to-day.

Mishap - what a sad situation.
Please try again with your link; it's not quite right.

What a tragedy , poor little boy and family !

Mishap that is worrying it sounds a very nasty and delicate place to do any surgery.

How terrible, poor little boy, poor family! Hope it all goes well.

I had trouble with the link to start with and had to copy and paste it before it would work ga. Here it is again: biggie.ereal.net/bill/

No news yet.

What a terrible thing for him and his poor family. I do hope he come through this safely. Please keep us updated Mishap

Just had a peep on their facebook page & 3hrs ago it says he's come through operation & said Mummy!

More tests to come but such good news!

Fingers crossed

Thanks posie that is good to read. My fingers crossed too.

News so far is good - he is able to move his arms and legs and recognises people and can speak - so it really does look as though they have managed to remove the tumour and to preserve many of his functions. I believe there is a wait of a few days to confirm the nature of the tumour and the next stage of treatment will depend on those results. Everyone was on tenterhooks yesterday and so relieved when he came round and the news was good.

Hoping for continued good news, Mishap The family must be encouraged by his progress so far.

Apparently he has been sleepy all day, just making noises and wriggling about, but the staff do not seem worried. It will no doubt take him several days to recover from such a long and traumatic operation.

Mishap - thanks for sorting the link. He looks such a gorgeous little chap and this must be a horribly worrying time for his parents and family. I do hope the news remains positive and that he soon recovers.

We have to hope that he is in no discomfort. It set me thinking about how little ones have no yardstick by which to judge what is normal or not - they just accept what comes. It is a blessing really as all he will know is that his mum and dad are there, but will have no anxieties about all that is happening - just one more strange thing that adults do, and no reason to think about the future or the seriousness of what is happening - that has to be a good thing. An older child would be likely to be more distressed.

Mishap I am glad to hear his progress is good so far.

What a beautiful little boy he is.

It would seem that he has been a bit distressed since coming round and the parents are finding this hard to watch. Another MRI planned for today. Who knows what this wee man is going through? - he cannot tell anyone. I guess it is all a matter of time. His mum and dad have hugely appreciated the positive thoughts and donations that have come their way.

More positive thoughts, prayers and best wishes winging his way today.

hope the little man starts feeling better soon.

Best wishes for that happy, handsome young man. He is fortunate to have such caring parents.

MRI shows no tumour left. Cerebro-spinal fluid is being monitored in case shunt might be needed. Ten day wait for histology result when they will know whether cancerous or not.

Thanks for keeping us informed Mishap - sounds like encouraging news.
