I don't even know where to begin with this. Dillon and I served together on the tech team at my former church for a number of years and you'll be very hard pressed to find a more compassionate and kind dude anywhere. He's in his 30s and he and his wife had just had their 4th child a couple months ago (at 30 weeks...so as of this post, the baby is still in the NICU but they're hoping she's released this week). He's a veteran and just the kind of guy that wouldn't hesitate to give you the shirt off his back.
About 2 or 3 weeks ago Dillon was in bed trying to fall asleep and started having seizures. They rushed him to the hospital and got the seizures under control but discovered a giant tumor in his frontal lobe. The doctors believe it's inoperable because of where it's located and what's surrounding it. They had it biopsied and unfortunately it's cancerous and aggressive (astrocytoma grade 3).
Up until now I've heard varying reports about a prognosis, but they've all be years and not decades. I know they've started a treatment plan and they're going to try to maximize as much as they can.
Mid 30s, 4 kids under the age of 9 including a brand new baby. As a father of 6 myself I am devastated for them.
On top of that, he is the primary income (truck driver) which he won't be able to do because of the seizure risk. I know he's looking for other things because he desperately doesn't want to leave his wife with a stack of bills and broke and of course who knows how hard his treatment will be.
They are staying positive and thanking God for the time they have together and trying to cherish every moment. I am praying for a miracle, I am praying for healing and for his wife and kids to have peace.
If you can join me, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Here is a link to their story/go fund me if anyone's interested.
