Truman is the sweetest most loving child. He loves his siblings, especially his identical twin brother Liam. He loves to play outside when he can, he loves to ride the tractor on the farm. He loves dogs and cats. He loves Disney cars, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Minions.
Truman was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on March 25th, 2022. Before his diagnosis, he had a lot of infections, hospital stays, and fevers that would not go away.
His treatment(s) have included bone marrow aspirations, over a dozen lumbar punctures, weekly chemo treatments, and immunotherapy. Some of the treatments cause him trouble with walking.
Cancer has changed our lives immensely, especially when he was first diagnosed. He is treated at St. Jude in Memphis so we lived there for about 5 months off and on. We have three other kids so it was really hard on them. Now we only travel once or twice a week, a little over an hour for treatment so it’s not as bad. Truman is not able to do as much as the other kids though, so it changes a lot of our daily life.
Truman has shown us how to really fight. He has been so strong through it all and is so resilient.
