Adrianna laughs at jokes and movie quotes. She is interested in fashion, and we recently colored her hair red, for an Ariel the mermaid inspired look. She expresses herself through clothes, shoes, hair color, and nails but her biggest wish is to be able to walk again by herself.
In the winter of 2014, Adrianna was having headaches, vomiting and loss of balance. She also wasn’t able to walk well. On December 31st, 2014 the tumor was discovered. She had Medulloblastoma or PNET. This type of tumor starts in the base of the brain.
On Jan 2, 2015 the surgery took place and changed our lives forever. Adrinna’s radiation and chemotherapy treatments have badly effected her memory. New things have to be taught over and over. She is not learning in school because of it. She isI 8 years old but neuropsychologist says she is more like 6 in her mind. She is unable to walk and we aren’t sure if she will walk again. Her becoming disabled/handicap is one of the biggest tolls and breaks our heart the most because she simply was not born that way.
