LDT. The Roberts family has shared another update as Will’s fight continues to demand more from him—and from everyone who loves him.

Will is still in active cancer treatment, and in recent days his condition has been unpredictable. Some moments look steady, and then the next wave of pain or a sudden medical complication can change everything. His parents say this “up and down” pattern has become part of their new normal: monitoring symptoms closely, adjusting plans on the fly, and returning to the hospital more often than they ever imagined.

The hardest part, they admit, isn’t only the physical toll—it’s the uncertainty. Pain can flare without warning. A complication can appear out of nowhere. And when it does, there’s no time to slowly prepare. It’s bags by the door, quick instructions, hurried goodbyes, and the familiar drive back to the place where they’ve spent far too many hours already.

Before leaving for the hospital this time, the family had one of those quiet, unforgettable moments that stays with you long after the door closes.

Will paused at the doorway to say goodbye to his little sister, Charlie.

There wasn’t a long speech or dramatic scene—just the kind of gentle, heavy silence that only families in situations like this understand. Charlie wrapped her arms around him and held on tight, as if hugging him could keep him safe, as if love alone could make the pain back away. Will leaned into that embrace, taking a small, steady breath before stepping outside.

It was simple. It was tender. And it was heartbreaking—because in that one hug, you could feel what children sense even when they don’t have the words for it: that something serious is happening, and that every goodbye matters.

The family says they’re grateful for every kind message, every prayer, every moment of encouragement that’s reached them. They’re also asking for continued support—especially for Will’s comfort and strength, and for peace over the entire household as they keep navigating these difficult days.

For now, the focus remains the same: getting Will the care he needs, staying ahead of complications as much as possible, and holding tight to the small moments—like a sister’s hug at the doorway—that remind them they’re still a family, still together, still fighting.
