My son

On July 9th, my 27-year-old son was diagnosed with Burkitt's Lymphoma. As a mom, I feel as if I've failed to protect him. I know it's not my fault, but it's hard, especially since his dad and I live in Massachusetts, and he lives in VA. We are a praying family, and he has a wonderful church and a great group of friends who are there to support him. Just recently, he finished his first round of chemo and was sent home from the hospital. Two days later, he ended up back in the hospital with a fever and tested positive for COVID-19. He spent a few days in the hospital and is back home waiting for a negative COVID result so he can go back for his second round of chemo. Please, for any of you that believe, please,please, pray for my beautiful son and our family.
