Story of Faith: First Patient of the MJH Pediatric Oncology Ward

With the support of Adonai’s Mercy House Foundation and Pediatric Oncologist Dr. Lalie Pablo, Mcfrancis Pierre Flores 1 year old male, was admitted to the Pediatric Oncology Ward of Mary Johnston Hospital last January 27, 2025. 

His mother shared that Mcfrancis had a rash on his body and liquid gushing out from his ears last year. They decided to consult with an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) doctor and dermatologist. The rash had blood clots, and they were advised to have the rash biopsied. The results confirmed Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH), a rare illness of a cell build-up in a human body which damages tissue and forms tumors. Both of his parents were devastated thinking that it was only a simple skin allergy.

Thankful to the hospital, its dedicated and kind health workers, and to  

Adonai’s Mercy House Foundation for providing a comfortable healing space for their son’s

treatment, their family continues to ask for prayer and support as they prevail in this challenge.

“We are positive that we can surpass this challenge through faith”, his father shared.

They have started the necessary treatment and medications under the expertise

of Dr. Lalie Pablo. Today, he will undergo his fifth session of chemotherapy. His parents hope for positive progress and development in the coming days.
