***This little Tiger passed away at 2:55 am this morning. Please keep his family in your prayers


Good morning everyone....I know you all remember Drake....the little boy battling brain cancer who just wanted 190 cards for Christmas. Well....not only did his wish come true (he received over 100,000 cards), but we collectively raised money for him to go to the Fiesta Bowl to support his beloved LSU and to go to Disney World. Well...below is an update from his family and he is not doing well. Please keep him and the family in your prayers....

1/24/19 Drake MRI Update!!!!

I don’t even know how to write this update. I’m heartbroken for the Quibodeaux’s.

Drake’s mri results are not what we all were praying for. We do not understand why these are God’s plans for Drake, and right now we can only keep trying to find comfort in knowing God’s plans are never wrong.

Drake’s mri results showed that the tumor has grown 20% since November. The neck pain, stumbling while walking, and speech issues he has been having were all signs of tumor growth. They will no longer continue the trial he was participating in. His parents are signing DNR right now and they are contacting hospice. They are going to start Drake on steroids today and they will be talking to the radiation doctor tomorrow about possibly starting radiation again.

Please please please keep the Quibodeaux’s in your prayers! The fight is not over! We know God can still preform a miracle if it is in His plans for Drake!!!!!

While research may not heal Drake here on Earth, remember that research is key for a cure! Support research. Find a cure. Tax deductible donations may be made in Drake’s honor to support DIPG research at LINK , a national charity committed to DIPG research. #quibodeauxstrong #geauxdrake #cannonballsacrossamerica #makewavesforDIPG

That's terrible to hear. Nobody deserves to have a battle with cancer, but it's especially troubling when kids have to go through that.

Sucks so bad.

Lost a friends child to this two years ago.
Just a terrible period of life to go through.

That’s fricking terrible. I feel for any parent going through this and certainly the child.

Terrible and unthinkable as a father of 2 kids. We pray for Drake every night and my kids pray that he doesn’t hurt. It’s so sad and sweet to hear their concerns for a stranger. We are will keep hoping. It’s really all you can do.

People can bash me for this but in addition to the radiation treatment, give him some carrot juice. Pure carrot juice from farm carrots at least 3 cups a day and let’s just see what happens.

Drake and his family will remain in my prayers. Such a tough kid.

Trolls who think they’re funny or people that get offended when God and/or prayers are mentioned. Just ignore them. Thoughts and prayers to Drake and his family.

Cancer sucks. Lost my dad and server others to it last year. Doesn't make it better, but at least they led a fairly long life. This young man is innocent. He hasn't loved long enough to have lived wrong. Ugh.

I remain hopeful that they will find a cure because of the fight of people like Drake and his family!!!
