Mom Asks The Internet For A Favor To Cheer Up Her Son Undergoing A Liver Transplant & They Deliver!
Ambra’s son Asher is suffering from hepatoblastoma, the most common type of childhood liver cancer. As a result, the young trooper has undergone liver transplant surgery. This type of cancer typically affects children under three. Asher has been through eight grueling months of chemotherapy and is cancer-free, but his liver was decimated by the cancer, which forms in the tissues of the liver.
@ambrafrank Asher is resting and doing well today. He woke up for a brief moment to give his stuffed puppy a kiss, and even offered it some of the food we gave him. Our strong boy is incredibly sweet, even through everything he’s been through. I know he’d be so excited to see lots of dog photos, but even just one will truly brighten his day when he wakes up again. #fypシ #AsherBrave #livertransplant #cancerwarrior #bravekids #update #doglover #puppy ♬ One more light –
Asher’s mom has been sharing his cancer journey on TikTok. When he got the call that they had a liver and could perform his transplant surgery, the family prepped for a long day. Ambra posted the above plea to her followers with a simple request. Please send Asher well wishes and pet pictures to cheer him up after the long surgery.
Puppy parents understood the assignment and responded in a huge way. Asher heard from a dog named Asher, as well as Bear, Titus, Brutus, Hank, Copper, Stella, Oliver, Abby, Cinnamon, Zelda, Memphis, Tater Tot, Nacho, Hashbrown, and many more. There are 4737 comments on the post. A cheerful wish for a speedy recovery accompanies each photo.
@ambrafrank Asher ADORES dogs. He’s been recovering from his liver transplant and hadn’t smiled all week, until Maverick walked into the room. Watching him light up this morning was the most beautiful moment, especially after everything he’s been through. I also shared a space where you can post photos of your fur friends so we can show them to Asher and keep the smiles coming. #fypシ #AsherBrave #cancerwarrior #livertransplant #bravekids #dogs #therapydog #specialmoments ♬ Almost forgot that this was the whole point – Take my Hand Instrumental – AntonioVivald
Asher made it through the 14-hour transplant surgery and spent about a week in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The young warrior continues to improve. He got a visit from Maverick, a therapy dog, and was all smiles. His mom has hundreds of dogs to show him when he’s feeling down to help make him smile.
You can follow Asher’s story on TikTok. Although he is cancer-free, he is not out of the woods yet. He will likely have continuing care and testing throughout the remainder of his childhood. His family and hospital staff have been instrumental in keeping this brave young man moving forward.
Please share.
