William Kieser (3) is the oldest of three brothers -his twin Arthur, and younger brother George. On August 31st, his parents - Nathan and Cosette Kieser - took him to the emergency room because of a mouth wound that would not heal. After testing, doctors found that William has severely low hemoglobin in his blood. He was transferred by ambulance to the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital for more testing and a treatment plan. Further tests revealed that William has a serious bone marrow condition, but it is still undiagnosed.
We are raising funds for gas, food, and any medical expenses that their insurance (Medicaid) does not cover. They have applied, but have not been accepted yet.
Please keep them in your prayers and thank you for supporting William and his family through this.
Praise update on 09/14/26 Praise be to God that William’s front teeth are healing! He is now eating solid food again after not eating for over a week! There is still no diagnosis on his bone marrow, but he is getting strong and acting like the fun, silly boy we know and love. He is able to walk and play and eat! Some new updated pictures will show him eating and having fun in the midst of all the chaos. Thank you all again so much for the donations and prayers for our family!
Praise/prayer update on 10/4/26
William is still doing well! He has been diagnosed with Idiopathic Aplastic Anemia which is a a rare, life-threatening blood disorder that occurs when the bone marrow fails to produce enough new blood cells. The word "idiopathic" means that despite thorough medical testing, the exact underlying cause remains unknown.
Thankfully, this is still treatable. On October 23rd, William is scheduled to have a bone marrow transplant which should be a one and done treatment. In preparation for this, he is undergoing chemotherapy starting October 8th to get rid of the “bad stuff” that caused his bone marrow to not work.
Thank you again for all your prayers and donations. God be praised for you and for all His great mercies during this time.
Praise/prayer update on 11/02/26. William has finished his two weeks of chemotherapy and received his bone marrow transplant on October 23. His treatment is finished. Now, we wait and pray that the new cells would be grafted so that his bone marrow can work once again. If all goes well, we should see William’s blood cell count increase within the next week to two weeks.
Throughout the chemo and transplant William remained in good spirits and high energy. He has been sick for the past couple days but seems to be getting better. His Neutrophil count, which was 0, is at 500 now. This means his bone marrow is starting to work again. God be praised!
Thank you for your prayers and support. May God have mercy and heal William through this treatment.
