My wife advises me that a co-worker's child has been diagnosed with neuroblastoma and is enduring many tests to assess his situation. His name is Tanner and he is 13 months old.
Thank you in advance for your prayers.
Ping!
Prayers for Tanner and his family, also for the doctors.
Maria
Oh no.....poor little angel. Prayers for this little one and his family.
Prayers up for this young soul and his family....
My prayers for Tanner.
Prayers up for the baby and his family.
My prayers to Tanner and his family. Please God, watch over this child.
I will pray for Tanner, his parents and the Dr’s and nurses treating him.
There is always time for prayers raised in earnest for a child, especially one so young who doesn’t understand what he is going through. Lord, let this little boy know Your calm and feel Your loving arms wrapped around him and may You grant this child Your infinite mercy. Praying for strength and courage for the parents and friends who love him. Amen.
Prayers sent
May the good Lord hold Tanner in the palm of His hand.
Very sad.
Prayers up!
I pray that little Tanner is able to overcome this malady with the help of God.
Praying to St. Perigrine for this precious child.
We sometimes have threads around here about football players, or Marines or some other group where we have very tough people we speak of. I have seen children meet or exceed the bravery and toughness of any of the above.
I pray that this child has as much happiness as possible as they fight something so evil and horrible.
Bad illness, few survivors outside of the healing power of Jesus Christ whom I will entreat now for Tanner
I had never heard of neuroblastoma, so looked it up to see what Tanner and his family are facing. The prognosis is a bit more optimistic than its description. Given Tanner’s young age, we will pray that the tumor goes away on its own.
“Expectations (prognosis)
“The outcome varies. In very young children with neuroblastoma, the tumor may go away on its own, without any treatment. Or, the tissues of the tumor may mature and develop into a non-cancerous (benign) tumor called a ganglioneuroma, which can be surgically removed. In other cases, the tumor spreads quickly.”

May the Lord hold Tanner and his family in the palm of his hand and comfort them during this trial.
