Tanner Page
Little Surfer Dude

Tanner Austin Page passed away peacefully Thursday morning January 29th 2009, at home, surrounded by loving family members.

Although words are difficult to come by at this time, we wanted to Thank each of You for the part you played in making Tanner’s life’s journey a little more comfortable … it was appreciated not only by Tanner, but by the entire family.

Tanner would have been 7 years old on February 8th 2009. In his short but meaningful life, his bravery and unselfishness touched the hearts and lives of many people. He was smart way beyond his years, and he will be remembered and missed by many.

A Celebration of Tanner’s Life … is planned for Valentine’s Day,  Saturday, February 14th, 12 noon, at the beach Tanner so loved, Ponce Inlet (Inlet Harbor Rd walkover).

We are requesting that in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to any of the below listed Organizations that became so much a part of Tanner’s life…

Chrisanne and Steve…

27.01.09 » A new journey…….

As many of you may know, in late November Tanner finished his final round of Chemo. Unfortunately, due to the December MRI results that showed his tumor was aggressively growing we could not hold out for the new clinical trial study.  Tanner quickly began a new therapy drug, however in two weeks he stopped responding [...]

14.12.08 » December 12 medical update

December 12, 2008
We apologize for the delay in making this latest update. It’s been very difficult to put into words what has been going on.
Tanner’s recent MRI has not given us very good news. The MRI revealed the tumors at his brain stem have grown rapidly even with his latest round of chemo. His physical [...]

24.10.08 » Taking one day at a time………..

As many of you are wondering, recently Tanner had a routine MRI to follow his progress. Although it was not exactly what we had hoped for, we are thankful for every day with Tanner. The doctors informed us that almost all of the necrosis except for a small nodule remains (the hyperbaric treatments as well [...]

29.09.08 » Staying strong…..

Tanner has finished his 46 day cycle of chemo and is staying strong. His counts have been almost perfect with no signs of infection. He usually begins his treatment process around 11:00am and finishes around 5:00pm. He has made many new friends at the infusion center and they spend most of the time [...]

16.08.08 » Your Love and Support is greatly needed…..

As many of you may know Tanner and I recently returned home after he received 2 months of hyperbaric treatments in Gainesville and West Palm Beach. Shortly thereafter, we returned to Gainesville to have his routine MRI with plans to begin a new therapy drug called “Avastin” to reduce the necrosis and carefully taper him [...]

24.07.08 » The weekend is almost here…..

Hey everyone just wanted to let you know Tanner is making some good progress. Still sleeping good, with far less interuptions during the night. However he is ready to stop using the bi-pap machine, and it will be a month or so before he will have another sleep study to see if things have really [...]

22.07.08 » FINALLY FOUND A COMPUTER!!!!!

Hey everyone, as you may have heard, I havn’t had access to a computer and finally after cruisin the halls at St. Mary’s I found a coffee shop with computers!!!!
Alot has changed since we left Gville, the treatments planned for Parish Medical Center fell through, they didn’t think Tanner could handle a mono chamber – [...]

21.06.08 » We will miss you Pap Pap…………

Today was a very sad day for Tanner and I. Unfortunately Pap Pap began to make his journey back to Pennsylvania. It was a great blessing to have him here with us during our daily journeys, helping with the treatments, doctor appointments and keeping us company. Thank you so much for being here with [...]

21.06.08 » IT’S FRIDAY………

We finished another week here in gville!!!! Tanner seems to be doing much better with his dives now. However due to some neurological issues that have occurred during this week, Tanner’s Oncologists have decided to continue the current high doses of steroids. Unfortunately there has been some delayed reflex issues in the feet, ankle [...]
