Sad story, but at least he got to spend time with Bob Stoops:

@kanyewest. My son is dying of a long battle with leukemia. He is a die hard fan. He has your flag in his room and listens to you non stop. He is in the hospital again and will not be walking out of it again. Is there any way possible that he could meet you. Or even face time with you. We are at children's hospital in Oklahoma City. I hope you see this while we still have time

@CoachBobStoops thank you so much for coming to see my boy. I went to OSU but I'm officially the 1 OKLAHOMA fan now after all you have done for us.

It’s amazing how some cancers are not really a big deal anymore because of treatments and others are a death sentence.

Very sad. Terrible when a family loses a child. Condolences to the parents.

Side note, Stoops has some extremely weird fingers.

The family that lives three doors up from us buried their 7 yr old son a few months ago due to brain cancer. Watching what that little boy and that family went through, I have no words.

Leukemia is one of the scariest forms of cancer imaginable. My dad was diagnosed with it at the end of May 2017. I can't relate to you how stressful of a time that was for me. I thought I was about to lose my father, the man who I loved more than anyone else on the planet. Thank God he pulled through and is 100% cancer free in the present day. He had another Leukemia scare, however, this past week which turned out to be (thankfully) an autoimmune disorder. I was so terrified that we were about to go through it all over again.

I really hate it for this father. I can't imagine what he's going through.

As a father of a 3 year little girl that just reached one year of remission this month from AML, my heart truly goes out to this family. During our 8 months of inpatient treatment, we unfortunately had to see when some children didn’t have the ever so fortunate outcome we had with our baby girl. It’s truly soul-crushing to witness a family have to go through what they have gone through. May God be with that child and with his family.

This makes my heart hurt. So young and undeserving of this. RIP to such a great Sooner for Life!

As you know and what others should know on here is that Bob Stoops was and is still very active with going to the Children’s Hospital in Oklahoma City. He did it ever since he arrived in Norman in 1999. He did it without cameras. It was his getaway that was never announced. The man has brought so much joy to the kids and parents. He is a great ambassador.

My son was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia on Christmas morning in 2007. He was admitted to St jude‘s Children’s Hospital the next day to begin three years of treatment. Thankfully, we caught the cancer early and his treatment was successful. My son just celebrated his 20th birthday.


Leukemia is scary with how unpredictable it is in children. We made and lost so many friends during our journey. My heart breaks for all the parents who have lost a child to cancer.
