Ely was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma in September of 2014. Before his diagnosis, he was experiencing neck pain waking him from sleep, vomiting, and hallucinations.
He has had full resection of the tumor, a shunt placement, completed full brain and spine radiation for 6 weeks, and then high-dose chemotherapy. He cannot play contact sports due to the shunt placed in his brain as a result of damage from the tumor.
A cancer diagnosis, as many families know, changes the course of your life forever. He will have many long-term side effects. We are slowly adjusting to a “normal” life now that he isn’t in active treatment.
Ely is a superhero enduring things no child should have to go through. We are so thankful for the many organizations and people that helped us along the way.
