Caiden meets Tommy & Brook

Caiden meets his prayer warriors ~ Tommy & Brook


Caiden before receiving his new eye - he has a clear prosthetic in.


Caiden sportin' his new eye!


For those of you who don't know Caiden's story... Caiden has been fighting a rare childhood cancer - Bilateral Retinoblastoma - cancer of the eyes for the last 2 years. He is now 3 years old. He did need to have his left eye removed d/t the strong nature of the cancer in this eye. As hard as that day was, Caiden is now doing well and is full of energy! Yesterday was a big day for Caiden. He started out his morning meeting his prayer warriors, Tommy and Brook (from WCSG radio - www.wcsg.org/morningshow), and then he also had permission to interrupt a big meeting! He had the opportunity to be the entertainment for Jack, Chris, Lee, Randy, Rich and Brian in the midst of their meeting. They loved him and he enjoyed interacting w/ them :D Caiden has many prayer warriors here at WCSG ~ Tommy and Brook, along w/ Michael, Jack and Chris. After the guys prayed for him, Caiden then went on to the doctor's office to receive his new eye! He looks great! Thanks for praying and please continue to do...

How can you continue to pray for him? Caiden still has a few cancer spots in his right eye that are being controlled with laser treatments - pray against these spots. Also pray for full restoration of vision in his right eye.

Darci and Jamie (his mom & dad), Caiden, and I thank you for all your prayers and support, b/c "it's what got us through."

I've just heard of this type of cancer, because there's a guy in the NBA "Derek Fisher", who's little daughter is fighting this.

I'll remember Caiden in prayer.

Yeah, his daughter was just diagnosed last week w/ it. Jamie, Caiden's dad, has already told me all about it as he can totally relate...
