Connor McLaughlin, a Flagler County kid that has synovial sarcoma, relapsed in May 2017. At that time, his family was told they would be lucky to get another year with him. An update posted on Dec. 17 on Connor’s GoFundMe page said that Connor isn’t going to be able to complete his bucket list, as his condition is worsening.

“We have been in Wolfson’s hospital since yesterday,” said Julie McLaughlin in the post. “Connor has been in pain and it’s being managed as much as possible. He had a scan today. Connor has internal bleeding and fluid from his cancer. It has more than doubled in size in his right abdomen and in just 10 days. He also has new areas on top of the 9 tumors in his lung and the spot on his spine.”

She added that he cannot have surgery and will stay at Nemours Children’s Hospital “until he goes to his eternal life.”

“They gave us a time frame of two months or less, but with the amount of blood that he needs it will probably be less, and he could possibly hemorrhage,” Julie McLaughlin said in the post. “Please feel free to donate to PayPal or his GoFundMe, so we can stay with Connor until the end and bring his sisters and family up to see him as much as possible.”
