Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, teenager Kyle Limper died April 13 within 24 hours of being diagnosed with leukemia after experiencing back pain.
Kyle Limper, 16, played football, wrestled and ran track at Penn Treaty High School before he passed away April 13.
When his symptoms got worse, Kyle was rushed to Philadelphia's St. Christopher's Hospital for Children. "He couldn’t even get out of bed and I had to help him up and stand him up, then he fell right back down on the bed," the grieving father added. Doctors told Kyle's stunned family the teen's organs were shutting down due to leukemia. Kyle spent around 24 hours at St. Christopher's before passing away.
"I wouldn’t wish this feeling or the situation on anyone. It's indescribable," Kyle's mom, Jodi Taffe, who recently battled breast cancer, said."I can't, I can’t even put into words how I’m feeling."
