In Sept 2012, Jake had just turned 7 years old when he started having headaches and vomiting. I took him to the ER convinced that he had a severe flu or gastrointestinal problem. Never in my wildest nightmare would I imagine that my child would be diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. From that day forward our lives were changed forever.
Jake had surgery, chemo and radiation. He had to learn to walk again and use his right arm. He faced many challenges after surgery but pevservered.
A year later in 2013 the cancer came back in his spine. Once again he had surgery and radiation. Since then he has relapsed again two times, the most recent being July 2017. Jake is currently doing chemotherapy treatment for the tumors in his spine.
Despite everything he faces Jake remains a kind caring boy who always thinks about others and loves music and dancing. Jake uses a walker to help him get around. Jake’s disability has taught us the many challenges that special needs children face on a daily basis. We have learned to take one day at a time and cherish every moment.
