The next morning I woke up, and ran into the kid's room cuz I heard Angela screaming. I got into the room and Johnny wasn't breathing. I rushed over to him, picked him up and told Angela to dial 911, she called them and told them our address, she told me they'd be there in 10 minutes. Angela immediately dialed her daddy's number and told him something was wrong with Johnny. he told her to tell me that he'd meet us at the hospital.

The 2 EMT'S quickly took Johnny and gave him a quick look over than tried giving him oxygen, after the third try, he began to breath shallowly, but still not responsive, they carried him into the hospital, for the Dr. to check him out. they gave him several tests, checked his vitals, the Dr said he was very weak, but he was more responsive now that he seen his daddy come into the room.

I was talking to the Dr as Criss was in the room calming Johnny down, and holding Angela in his arms, Criss made a stuffed bunny appear out of nowhere and gave it to our son, to make him feel more secure but he seen his sissy didn't have one so he handed it to her, she took it played with it than handed it back to him. Criss took the bunny and told Angela to move its reflection in behind his hands, when she did a second stuffed bunny appeared in his hands. Criss handed it to Johnny, and said now you both have one. Johnny laughed, and gave a satisfying smile, then turned over and fell asleep. Angela started crying, and told her dad she didn't want the toy, she wanted her brother to be ok. Criss pulled her in his arms, and said he would be.

After the Dr finished talking to me, I was in tears. He told me the reason Johnny was sick off and on alot, was because they found through his recent blood test, that he had Pediatric Leukemia, and that we should start his radiation treatments immediately. When Criss seen me drop to the floor crying, he told Angela to stay in the room, and ran out to me, and asked me what was wrong, as soon as I told him, he dropped next to me, and held me close and cried with me. he asked the Dr what options we had for our son, and if there was a chance for him to survive it. The Dr simply told us all we could do was be strong for one another, give him the radiation treatments, and pray.

I called our mom and brother's, while Criss called Sully & Sandy, Klay, Nell, Pete, and C-Top. They all gave us their sympathy and tears, and said if and whenever they were needed they would be there for us. We thanked them, and waited as the Nurses prepared his first treatment, Dimitra, Costa, and JD were in the room with us in less than 30 minutes. Criss was breaking down outside the room, while JD was consoling him, I was in the room holding our son's hand, trying to stay emotionally strong for him. but he was strong already, taking his first treatment like a real champ...deep emotional tears came out seeing how much of his daddy was in him. Momma D wrapped her arms around me, and told me he was a strong boy like his father, and that he'd get through this. After Johnny fell asleep, I went out to Criss, and crawled in his arms and the tears poured like waterfalls he held me tightly, and said our lil boy was going to win this fight. I looked deep into his eyes, and agreed with him. We tried keeping each other in good spirits. JD took Angela home with him for a while, for him and Lynn to take care of, and to have Angela get some quality playtime with his cousin Dimi. Criss told the Dr that money was not an object, when it came to our boy and to leave no stone unturned, & that Johnny was to be treated like the President of the United States.

We stayed at the hospital for three days until the Dr gave us a schedule of when Johnny's treatments were gonna be. All of our friends came by and stayed with us a while, to personally console us both, Klay went in the room, and laid in the bed next to Johnny, and held him, and told him to get better. Johnny loved his Uncle Klay. C-Top went in and did some silly tricks to make him laugh, and take his mind off his sickness, Sully & Sandy came over that evening and as he sang him a lullaby with his acoustic guitar Sandy went wild with the pictures. After Johnny fell asleep Sully looked at us both, and he was crying as he told us both not to hesitate to contact him anytime, day or night, and too keep him and Sandy both informed with any changes we both gave them a hug, and told them we would.

Months went by, and Johnny had a few real bad spells, but pulled through them like a real trooper. Criss and I were weaker than our son from it to be honest, but on his last visit, the Dr came in glowing with happiness, he was proud to announce the treatments put Johnny's cancer in total remission. We looked at each other and cried with a feeling of great relief. We immediately called everyone and told them the good news.

As a celebration, Criss took our kids and I to the Zoo, and then to Circus Circus, for some fun. Johnny was real eager to go on the rides, he was so full of life and energy again. Angela, raced him and let him win the race to the bumper cars. After he and Angela got in, they hollered for daddy and mommy to get in too. So like the big kid Criss was, he jumped in I did just for my kids, & we had a full funfilled day. Criss ended up taking me & our rugrats to Chuckie Cheeses, for more games, and pizza for supper.

We finally made it to the house, and got our baby's into their mindfreak pj's and put them to bed, we showered together, and relaxed a little from all the emotional trauma we went through for the past few years, then we laid down and made sweet love together, snuggled, and went to sleep with the heavy weight lifted off our chests, knowing our son was getting better for now. We were really waiting for the next three years of treatments to be over with, than we would have to wait and see, but for now our lil boy was back to his old self, and packed with energy. And everyone was happy.

THE END...LOVE, LIVES, 4-EVER....BELIEVE!!
