Zak likes being goofy and dressing up. He likes cars and the cartoons Bendy and the Ink Machine and Five Nighys at Freddie. He likes scary movies and loves playing games board games. He enjoys spending time with his brother and sister and his cat Panther.
My son was diagnosed on April 26th 2018 with Medulloblastoma. He has under gone 6 weeks of radiation and is currently going through chemo. He has been so strong!
Zak had been having headaches for a couple weeks when I took him to the ER. After three times and finally a someone listened to me. Zak would wake up in the middle of the night screaming in pain and I knew it wasn’t normal. The tumor they found was so big it was blocking his spinal fluid from flowing which cause fluid on the brain.
We currently live about 3 hours from Seattle Children’s Hospital and having to go four times a month while also taking the time off work, really hits home in every way possible. We are emotionally wrecked, financially strapped, and always scared when the kids say they don’t feel well. Zak isn’t the same since everything has happened. He doesn’t run and jump around and scream and play. He has a very hard time around other people that are not family. My oldest 2 kiddos have learned a lot. They have fought with us supporting their brother but it has emotionally wrecked them and set them back academically.
