Story
On the 1st of October 2018 our world came crashing down. Our 4 year old son Preston began bruising very easily and i started to notice he was feeling unwell and had dark circles under his eyes. I took him to the hospital suspecting that he may have anemia but our poor boy was diagnosed with lukiemia. Even writing it down just does not feel real, its ever parents worse nightmare seeing their babies poorly ... but cancer? I ask my self why every day. Hes only 4 and dosnt deserve it. No child does.
Preston has spent the last 3 weeks in hospital with myself and Jake at his bedside. They have said that the treatment will last a minimum of 3.5 years. This is the start of a long road ahead. He has to have chemotherapy weekly. Its awful watching his hair fall out. He also has to go for bone marrow every 4 weeks. He has good days and bad days. On bad days hes too weak to even walk. Preston is also autistic an non verbal and often cant express how hes feeling.
This has hit the family hard As it would any family. Preston has 3 brothers Aged 7, 3 and just 10 weeks. Being at the hospital so much takes us away from the other children. Prestons older brother has not taken it well at all and is now struggling with his behaviour. I as their mum find it so so hard and feel very alone.
To make matters worse due to prestons diagnosis we lost £1300 on a family holiday that we had booked.
As well as caring for Preston we need to keep a normal family life however much of our money is going on traveling to bristol and childcare. We are struggling to cover everything. More importantly though we would like to bring some magic in to our darling boys life. As Preston is non verbal we would like to put sensory and medical equipment in his room to help sooth him And so we can have him at home with his brothers.
Eventually when he is well enough we would like to take him some where warm. He responds well to heat, water and feeling the sand.
This really has wripped my heart out and would love to be abke to treat Preston to anything that would make this journery easier while i watch my boy kick cancers butt
