Hi my name is Becky Evans, my sister Kristy Mertic works for Dr. Scott Mabee and knows Joey s dad. She told me about Joey and I just had to send my blessings. I "lived" at Akron Children's Hospital with my son Vincent Evans while he battled a rare form of Leukemia, Infant ALL T:4-11. He was five and a half months old when he was diagnosed. He was seen by all of the oncologists, however he had a joke with Dr. Patton. Whenever she would do morning rounds he would be eating breakfast when she came in and he would try to feed her sausage he already had in his mouth, he found it very funny.
I can say, from experience, you have the best doctors and nurses in the world. I will pray for your son. I know my sister has already explained about Vincie, please don t get discouraged because he went to Heaven. Vincie had a type of cancer that is so rare doctors see two cases world wide a year. His type of cancer is caused by two of his chromosomes breaking in half and switching places, it occurs during development in the womb. He was meant to be an angel from the day he came down from Heaven. As hard as it is to be without him I know he is watching over all the other innocent children with cancer. Please have faith and remain strong. After going through this kind of ordeal you will never be the same; however it does tend to bring people closer together and it does change your out look on life. Vincie may have only been here for sixteen months but he changed our lives forever.
God bless your family. I pray that God wraps you all in his loving arms and eases your walk through this. I would like to extend my blessing and prayers to Joey and all of his family. If you ever need to talk please feel free to email me day or night, my email address is: VinciesMom@Vincie.org
Praying in Christ s Name,
Becky Evans
