Just got home from Michigan a couple days ago, my chemotherapy went good and now I’ll be leaving for Bethesda, Maryland tomorrow for my Bone Marrow Transplant. I’ll most likely be gone to Bethesda for 6 months. My Bone Marrow Transplant will be done at the National Institute of Health and hopefully all goes well and I’ll be able to return home within 6 months on my way to recovery.

I don’t know you…my son goes to BRHS…which is how I came to hear about you over the summer. I want you to know Wes, I read your blog all the time and think about you and your family. I am inspired by your strength. I just read you are off to Maryland for a bone marrow transplant and wish you all the best on your road to recovery. I will be thinking of you and looking for updates.

This is indeed great news, Wes! You have been constantly in our thoughts since last week when your Mom gave me the heads up about the possible trip to Bethesda and now it seems that this has come to pass. I have shared this info along with many of my friends (your former teachers!!) who are all pulling for you and sending good wishes your way. Six months is a long time but it will be the key to everything else. Good luck and know that we are thinking about you.
Stay strong Wesley,

Wes,
So glad you are finally at Bethesda. We are praying for you. Dr. Fata told us you were going and he was so happy that this was finally taking place. So many of the patients at chemo are praying for you. I think you are Dr. Fata’s star patient.
I hope everything goes well for you. Your family is incredible. They are very special people and you are so lucky to have the parents that you do. Of course, you are pretty special too. Keep us posted on your progress. We will be thinking about you.

The situation for Wes and his family is not good. Wes' only chance is to receive newly-developed treatments in the United States. With no out-of-country insurance, the Laporte family are reaching out to the community to aid funding, and to ultimately save their son's life.
