Sergio back in Iowa City

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009 12:25 pm

Sergio Acuahuitl, a young boy from Davenport, is now at University of Iowa Hospitals because his cancer has returned.

It’s possible to follow his story on the Care Pages site, available here. Care Pages is a networking site set up to help interested persons follow families during a stressful or critical situation. I used it myself once and will recommend it to anyone.

Readers may recall Quad-City Times stories about Sergio and his fight against acute myeloid leukemia. He endured months of treatment and appeared to be cured until the cancer recently returned. If you’d like to see the story I wrote about Sergio, which was published last year during the Thanksgiving weekend, click here. There was also a story on Sergio and his family at Christmas, written by Alma Gaul.

He’s a good guy and deserves our thoughts and prayers.
