I read his request for prayers yesterday on FB. Heart breaking. Just fucking Heart breaking. I think the older one gets the more hear breaking this shit is when it happens to kids.

I didn't realize he was a PA. Jesus, brains brawn, success. Wow.

Both Josh and Kaleb have done very well post playing days. Kaleb works in the Miami Dolphins organization.

Both have beautiful wives and kids.

Josh posted another video update this morning. Man is it hard to watch. No real news or changes but he was pretty much fighting back tears as he spoke about his sick little boy.

Marcus continues to have trouble breathing. Josh has not been getting much sleep as his listens to Marcus gasp at night. He also mentioned Katie wanting to watch videos of Marcus and his brother playing football but Josh can't. He says it makes him angry and who can blame him.

Continue with the good thought and prayers for the Thornhills.

Kaleb is asking for more prayers tonight. Marcus is in the hospital because he hasn't been eating (his mouth hurts), sleeping and has bad nose bleeds. The breathing trouble continues. The doctors can't figure out what's wrong except for , in Katie's words, the plum size tumor in his brain. I'm really not a prayer or a crier but I just did both.

shit like this isn't supposed to happen to kids. Sad enough when it happens to adults. But kids are supposed to be kids.

Then, of course, as parents, we try to imagine what they're going through.. so that compounds the emotions.

Just sucks.

Encouraging news from the MRI today. Tumor remains stable and maybe even slightly smaller. Official reading yet to come but the family is treating this as a win, Go Marcus!

Thanks, Duffy. We lost a friend in the neighborhood to a brain tumor today, so this news about Marcus is welcome.

I hate bumping this thread today of all days but more prayers are needed for Marcus. He was rushed to the hospital by ambulance last night and is ventilated. He has pneumonia and more tests are scheduled to rule out other far worse things.

Simply gut wrenching. Anchor in.

Update with better news. The MRI checking the brain tumor came back good. No changes.

Marcus in at Sparrow in PICU ( Josh, Katie and family in town from Tennessee for the holiday) and doctors will take him off the vent asap to "see how he does". Hopefully it goes well.

The latest is not good. The attempt to remove the vent did not work. Marcus is sedated/ventilated but resting comfortably in picu.

Without question. The process of inserting and removing the tube is beyond difficult. I've seen it first and it's awful for any patient. Let alone a 5 year old.

I know I've said before in this thread but this little dude is freaking tough. I really think he's going to beat cancer.

Update from Josh this morning. The Thornhills are back home from Michigan and Marcus is doing better. Very traumatic holiday for the entire family. Marcus aspirated in the middle of the night on christmas eve and that's why he had to be ventilated. The doctors aren't sure why but a recurrence is certainly a concern.

Josh has been staying up all night and watching Marcus sleep. Quite frankly, he looks like a man who has not slept. He went back to work today. I completely get Josh doing what he is doing ( sleepless) but he also needs to take care of himself. I worry about Josh, Katie and the other kids as much as I do Marcus.

Stay anchored in.
