Eric loves the San Diego Padres. He also loves playing baseball too. Eric likes to listen to music and watch YouTube. He loves being outside! He enjoys wresting with his 3 year old brother, Vinny. And they both love playing with our dog, Bruno.
Eric was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma at the ER on 5/19/22 – a brain tumor was discovered and it was fully removed the next day. The cancer had also spread to the spine and other parts of the brain.
Eric had three cycles of induction chemotherapy and three cycles of high dose chemo with stem cell rescue. Eric’s longest run in the hosptial was 99 days straight. His treatment was at Rady Children’s Hospital and was on and off of being impatient for 7 months. Moving forward, we will monitor his MRI’s and we hope to avoid radiation. Treatment has resulted in some weakness for Eric. He can walk but is still working on his strength so he uses a wheelchair for long distances.
Our lives are now completely different than before; with many doctors appointments, hearing aids, physical therapy, medications and injections. Eric’s immune system is weak. I lost my job to take care of Eric full time. We can’t wait for the days that we can be care free and not worried about Eric’s health.
