BENTLEY<br />
Age 3 | Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis<br />
<strong>Little</strong> <strong>Warrior</strong> Bentley’s journey started a year ago with an ear<br />
infection that didnt seem to be getting better. Four weekly visits<br />
to the doctor finally resulted in Bentley getting a MRI, where two<br />
tumors were discovered - one at the base of his neck and the<br />
second on his back bone, spreading to two of his ribs. Bentley<br />
spent a week in the hospital doing tests, labs, biopsy and a<br />
hickmen placement. Finally, the day before Thanksgiving, Bentley<br />
was diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis.<br />
His journey has been filled with ups and downs, from neutropenic<br />
fevers, dehydration, RSV, central line infection & replacements to<br />
MRI’s, chemo burn on the inside and so on. He is still fighting his<br />
fight and through it all he does it with his heartwarming smile.<br />
Bentley is the youngest of five children, loves to sing along to<br />
songs in the car, going for walks with his oldest sister and any and<br />
all types of cats.<br />
