Latest Update

According to his Pulmonary specialist, Rene has begun to take baby steps in the right direction. It appears that the heavy bleeding from his lungs is diminishing.

Rene was given his third chemotherapy treatment yesterday. His initial chemo treatment began two weeks ago. The chemo Rene received yesterday was more aggressive than the one administered last Friday and requires much sleep and rest in order to obtain optimal results. Rene's doctors and the ICU staff continue to request very limited and "very short" visits to not exert the energy Rene needs to endure his treatments.

The results from Rene's lung biopsy have not yet come back. Once the pathology report is available, Rene's team of doctors will be able to provide more information. As of yesterday evening, Rene was finally awake and coherent for a short period of time. The timing was perfect as Rene's parents were present when he opened his eyes.

The Labrado family is grateful for all your love, support and continued prayers.
