Bentley was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in his front left leg on 11/27/2013. It was by far the worst day of my life thus far. CANCER. That word in itself, can give chills to most people. It ruins lives. It stops a mother in her tracks. Human child or not, this boy is my world. To say my world was turned inside out, and the wind knocked completely out of my sails in an understatement! I cried for 4 days straight, but then I woke one day with a new fight in my heart. We have vowed to fight the good fight, and will do everything in our power to beat this monster – until the day that my sweet boy says it’s time to let go. We have heard so many positive stories, and although we know that statically this disease in 95% fatal in the first year…we are determined that we can be part of that 5%. Here will will document our journey, prayers and healing thoughts are more than appreciated! Thank you SO much to our friends and family for all of our support!
