BENTLEY<br />

Age 3 | Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis<br />

Little Warrior 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 />
