Griffin is the sweetest boy, just so full of joy! He loves being outside with his Mama and going on adventures. He is a tough kid who goes through everything without complaining. He loves to giggle and dance to music! His favorite song is Fire on Up by Paper Kings.
Griffin was diagnosed with a brain tumor on January 15th, 2023. He was 13 months old and very advanced, walking confidently and playing like a toddler. New Year’s Day 2023 we started to notice a slanted smile and he was starting to lose balance. A week later he had stopped using his right arm. We thought this was due to a stroke or an infection but an MRI showed that he had a mass in his brain roughly 1/4 the size of his actual brain. This began our journey and fight.
We have been through four rounds of chemo so far, and this has been a huge hit to our life both emotionally and physically. But, this has also been one of the things that has brought our family closer to each other and closer to God.
Griffin had some limitations early on, however after the original biopsy the incredible surgeon was able to remove fluid from one of the cysts in his brain and relieve pressure on the center of his brain. This gave him the ability to walk and play again! This has been a huge blessing during this battle.
Griffin is a fighter and a true warrior!
