I'm going to be a bit cryptic here. Some know all the details but the family involved has told who they want to tell and I am leaving it at that. If it is addressed publicly then I will be less obtuse. If you know who it is, I ask that his name not be brought up in the comments at this time. Thanks. If you have a guess and want to check, then e-mail me ( puppetmaker (at) gmail (dot) Com)

We found out this morning that a family that are some of our best friends were told that their eldest son has leukemia. It is apparent the best kind of leukemia to get if you are going to get it. He is under going treatment now. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

I am grateful for medical treatments that didn't exist even 10 years ago.

Thank you very much.

He is such a good kid and doesn't deserve this bump in the road called life.

Sorry to hear the news; I hope the treatments aren't too rough on the lad.

Me too. What I do know is that he is going to be in the hospital for at least the next month and in treatment the next 6.

My aunt (mother's oldest sister) was diagnosed nearly 20 years ago and is still doing well thanks to advances in treatment. I hope your friend's son makes a full and swift recovery.

I will be thinking good thoughts for him.

I'll think of him and wish him well. (And I'll continue to be glad that composer Patrick Doyle (http://doylefans.squarespace.com/) beat leukemia, too. Sounds like what Doyle got was more aggressive than your friend's, and Doyle recovered from it.)

Good luck, young man.

How terrible, every parent's nightmare for sure.

I wish him a speedy recovery and a full remission.

I don't know who you're talking about, but I'll keep them in my prayers.

I don't need to know - but my thoughts and hopes will be with them. There have been such great strides in treatment in the last decade, and I'm hopeful that he will pull through, not just with that, but with the love and support of his family, which is almost if not just as important as the medical aspect.

It is who I thought it might be--and hoped it wasn't. D*mn. He's (they're) definitely in my thoughts and hopes--as are you.

Yep. We're canning the sketch for Farpoint because he was one of my warm bodies. I'm going to wait until he can be there before we do it.
