Praying for Landon

Hello All,

Please see post below from Landon's Mom, Kristi and please join me in praying for God's healing and strength for he and his family.

 Landon is a sixteen year old junior at North Lincoln High School. For the past two years he has had difficulty with recurring pneumonia. On November 24th of this year a tumor was discovered in his bronchial tube. It was believed he may have swallowed something and tissue grew around it, causing this tumor. He was set up for surgery on Thursday, December 2, 2010 to either remove the tumor or to get enough tissue for a biospy. This was to be an outpatient procedure if all went well.
They were able to remove what they believe was half of the tumor but during the procedure his bronchial began to swell and he was put on a ventilator and moved to ICU. The next morning the swelling had gone down and he was able to come off the ventilator and sent home later that day.
One week later on Thursday December 9, 2010 the doctor called with the news that Landon's biopsy showed typical carcinoid. A rare form of cancer not usually seen in teens. He stated it was 1 in a million. The treatment for this cancer is to remove all of it. This means he will have to lose his lower right lobe and possibly most of his middle.
We have several scans and doctors appts including going to Duke Medical Center next Thursday, December 23rd. It is our prayer that the scans all return normal and with surgery he will be able to be 100% cured. From what we have learned so far he should not need any form of treatment if it is all removed.
For those of you who know Landon well his hearts desire is football. He has played every year since middle school and was already hitting the gym one week after this past season ended.
With the removal of one or two lobes on his right side he will be faced with obstacles but with prayer, determination(which he has) and training he will be back on the field in August 2011.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about Landon and please join us in praying for God to heal his body COMPLETELY of this rare form of cancer.
