He was young, athletic and fit as a violin. But then Kyle L. suddenly felt pain in his back. As it turned out, he had leukemia.
He played football, basketball and ran for the track team. Kyle L.* (†16), of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was always in excellent health and an avid athlete. But in a few hours everything changed for the young man. 24 hours after being diagnosed with cancer, his heart stopped beating.
It all started harmlessly. After a basketball game, Kyle told his parents that he had back pain. The teen was taken to a hospital for a checkup and given painkillers. ‘They told me to bring him back in a few days if he wasn’t better. Well, within days he couldn’t even get up,” Kyle’s father Ken L.* told TV station FOX 29 Philadelphia.
“So our nightmare began”
It was getting worse and worse. Mother Jodi T.* decided the next morning to call the emergency services, who took her son to the emergency room at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Christopher in Philadelphia: “So our nightmare began.”
Doctors informed the horrified parents that their son had leukemia. Pain was the precursor to multiple organ failure. Kyle had no chance of survival and died within 24 hours of being diagnosed. A shock for the parents. “It’s indescribable. I can’t even express in words what I feel”, said mother Jodie T., who recently had to fight breast cancer.
He wanted to work for the FBI
Your son already had concrete plans for the future after school. Not as an athlete, but I wanted to be an FBI or CSI investigator. “He wanted it so badly that he applied and was accepted into a program where he reportedly learned from real CSI agents in Washington that summer,” his parents wrote about their son on a donation page.
Kyle L. wanted to stop all the evil in this world by putting all criminals behind bars. With the resource, the family wants to raise US$ 25,000 to pay for hospital treatment and the funeral. The rest of the money will benefit your brothers. The family still cannot believe how quickly their beloved Kyle died. The appeal for donations states: “Prior to April 13th, he was a completely healthy and happy young man who showed no signs of illness. The disease just came and took him the same day.” (jmh)
