Brayden loves dinosaurs, monster trucks, and animals (especially sharks). He is always running around smiling and laughing. He loves to show everyone his toys and watch the monster truck rallies on tv. He also likes to play outside and go to the park.
Brayden was diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in May 2022. Before he was diagnosed, we noticed Brayden was experiencing fatigue, bruising, nose bleeds, loss of appetite, and was very irritable. He had trouble walking and keeping his balance.
He has had many spinal taps and 3 bone marrow biopsies. He has had 3 port-related surgeries: one to place a port, another to take out the infected port, and another to put the port back in. We struggle with constantly coming to the hospital for treatment due to his father working and we live 120 miles away.
This has changed our lives significantly. Due to Brayden’s weakened immune system and extended hospital stays we are not able to do the things we used to. We also had a 3-week-old when Brayden was diagnosed with cancer.
