Tami and Chris Stout are Class of '96 and '95, respectively. Their oldest son Justin (13 years old) became ill while on vacation a week and a half ago. He was diagnosed with acute liver failure but while waiting for a liver transplant, he was diagnosed with ALL, a childhood form of leukemia. He cannot start chemotherapy until he receives a liver transplant. Please keep this family in your prayers, including Justin's little sister and brother who do not understand the severity of the situation. If you are in Houston, please also consider donating blood and platelet's in honor of Justin between now and April 6. You can visit www.giveblood.org to find a donation center near you. If you donate, please provide Justin's group code S060.

Football related because Justin loves Aggie football.

UPDATE: Justin in OR now to receive a new liver. Please pray for Justin, Justin's family, and the family who lost their child and made the decision to give Justin the gift of life.

T's and Prayers to Justin and all his family

So sad.

The family is hanging tough, but this is a very trying time. It's happened so fast. Praying for them!

Chris and Tami,

You know you are 400,000 strong. We are all praying and pulling for Justin.

God Bless

Trusting that our Heavenly Father has Justin in His hands as they continue to wait for a liver.

Prayers sent

Prayers to this family. BTHO Lukemia.

For any Ags in the Sugar Land area, Sartartia Middle School (located in New Territory) is having a blood drive for Justin in the neighborhood on April 8th. Justin is a student at Sartartia.

I remember Chris from school. Nice guy! Prayers for the family

"He was diagnosed with acute liver failure but while waiting for a liver transplant, he was diagnosed with ALL, a childhood form of leukemia."

Just... Wow. So horrible.

It actually was worse. I left out the part where they took him OFF the transplant list when the diagnosed him with ALL. Thankfully 80 (yes 80) doctors consulted and decided they could in fact do the transplant and put him back at the top of the list several days later.

Wow... Thoughts and prayers for them. That's got to be tough.

Prayers for Justin and the family.

Here is the latest update from Justin's mother, Tami:

"Update- though yesterday was an extremely hard day as a liver we were preparing for did not meet the criteria needed for Justin, today has been a day of answered prayers. Justin is awake today and nodding yes and no to questions, this is so encouraging. Please continue your prayers! The blood bank location near Sugar Land has reported a triple in donors so thank you everyone who has donated, continue spreading the word. We will be setting up a gofundme account soon after many inquiries, please continue to share this info because I would like all those Prayer Warriors and Aggie family to know the latest. For now, we still await a liver."

Update from from Tami:

"Justin is still critical in the ICU. It takes the various machines and blood products to keep him "stable" in acute liver failure, we are still waiting for a liver. Please remember to try to donate blood or to become an organ donor so you can help kids/adults in a situation like ours. Thank you so much for your donation and prayers."

GoFundMe account

Yeah! Justin is in the OR to receive his new liver! From his mother:

"Please pray as Justin goes to the OR for his new liver. Pray that he can go into this surgery without anxiety and that he can recover to face his new life and the obstacles ahead. Pray for peace to the family of a 16 year old child that they may know the gift they have given to our child on their hardest of days. Pray for the guidance to his nurses and doctors over the next few hours and days."
