My Brave Son

My son was diagnosed with a brain tumor in July 2023. We were unaware that he had a tumor until he had a seizure. In hindsight, looking back in the past two years, he had signs, anxiety attacks, weird smells, racing heartbeats, headaches. We thought it was due to a recent divorce. Now, we feel he was having mini seizures.

After brain surgery (only able to remove a part of the tumor), 20 days in the hospital, and rehab to learn how to walk, talk, and eat due to a stroke during surgery, he was back to work within a couple of weeks and on to radiation and six cycles of chemo he is doing great.

We pray every day for continued blessings as each day goes by. He looks forward to lifting others that have experienced the same and telling his story.
