💛🎗️ A Little Update on Emerson & Our Family 🎗️💛
Our sweet boy is back at the clinic today. After battling a cold, cough, and congestion for the past three weeks, it has now turned into an ear infection. He’s receiving antibiotics today to help get that cleared up.
He’s also receiving his very first IVIG infusion. His bloodwork from last week showed that his IgG level was only 274, which is significantly low. His little immune system is still struggling to produce the antibodies he needs to fight off infections.
Even though Emerson is in maintenance treatment for B-cell ALL, his body is still feeling the effects of everything he’s been through. The IVIG will help give him some of those much-needed antibodies and hopefully provide him with extra protection.
It’s hard watching him go through one thing after another. He’s only 8 years old, and all we want is for him to be able to enjoy being a kid without constantly dealing with sickness, medications, and hospital visits. But through it all, he continues to be our brave, resilient little fighter. 💛
❤️ A Little Update From Our Family
As we get closer to the end of the year, things are starting to get a little tighter financially. Between Emerson’s ongoing medical needs, appointments, trips back and forth to the hospital, and everyday expenses, it’s been a lot to manage.
On top of everything with Emerson, our sweet girl Rory has also been dealing with her own illness and needed veterinary care, leaving us with an unexpected vet bill. She’s part of our family too, and we’re doing everything we can to make sure she’s healthy and taken care of. Unfortunately, it’s just another expense added to an already challenging year.
We are beyond grateful for every single person who has donated to Emerson’s GoFundMe, sent us something personally, shared his story, or simply checked in on our family. Every dollar that has been donated has helped us get through some incredibly difficult moments, and those funds have now been exhausted.
It’s never easy asking for help, and I know that with the holidays approaching, money is tight for so many families. We never want anyone to feel obligated to give, and we completely understand if you’re not in a position to do so.
But if anyone is able and would like to help our family as we navigate these last couple of months of the year, anything at all, no matter how small, would truly mean the world to us. Even a few dollars can make a difference, and sharing our story is just as appreciated.

We’re not asking anyone to take on our responsibilities. We’re simply doing our best to keep our heads above water while making sure Emerson has everything he needs, taking care of our family, and continuing to push toward the finish line of his treatment.
To everyone who has stood beside us throughout this journey, thank you. Whether you’ve donated, prayed, shared a post, sent a message, or just taken a moment to ask how Emerson is doing, please know how much it means to us.
We’re hoping and praying for a healthier, quieter end to the year. Emerson has come so far since his diagnosis in April 2025, and while we still have a road ahead of us, every day brings us a little closer to the moment we’ve been waiting for.
One day closer to the finish line. One day closer to hearing those beautiful words: treatment complete. 💛🎗️
