Caden is a sweet and strong 3 month old baby boy who began to exhibit symptoms of discomfort and pain after about 2 & 1/2 months from birth, the doctors and ourselves thought he was simply colicky or having other digestive difficulties until a particular pediatric doctor by the name of Dr. Hartsook reccomended taking him in to Phoenix Children's Hospital for a scan just in case. Little did we know but a mass was growing in his cerebellum area, the doctors were amazing with him and so far things have been improving well. We are so grateful that we brought him in to the hospital when we did. The support we have been receiving from friends and family has been miraculous, and the doctors and surgeons have been amazing in taking care of Caden, We definately brought him to the right place. Caden is a 3 month old baby boy who has recently had a brain tumor successfully removed from his cerebellum, and is currently awaiting the diagnosis of the malignant form of cancer from which the tumor was made. He will begin Chemotherapy treatments in probably no earlier than a 1 & 1/2 weeks, which will hopefully rid his body of the remaining cancer cells. We are always open to visitors, it helps to have a little distraction and social interaction while we wait for the next step in the process for Caden's recovery. Other than that, we have been having meals brought to us, which has helped us by not having to spend so much money on food while staying in the hospital.

- My name is Caden, I was born in February of 2010. I am 3 months old. On May 12th I had a malignant brain tumor removed. I will start my chemotherapy next week
I met Jessica while my daughter was admitted to PICU. I only knew this sweet family for a short while, but they had an ever lasting impact on my life. Caden's story touched me in so many ways. I will never forget this special family and I continue to pray for them every day.

Oh Candice, how are you? How is your daughter doing? I am so glad you found our blog. Take Care. Jessica
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica!! I think of you almost every day and when I do I say a prayer for you....I will never forget you and your sweet family. Paelyn stayed for 6 weeks at Phoenix Childrens and we went home for only 3 days and ended back for a 3 week stay. The doctors did a lung biopsy. They were trying to find a reason as to why she continues to require oxygen and the need for it increases and why she falls into respiratory distress and is intubated quite often, but so far have found no answers. We recently moved to Lehi, UT to be closer to family and Paelyn is admitted quite often to Primary Childrens in respiratory distress. The doctors here are looking at pulmanary hypertention but she is not strong enough to have the tests done to see if that is indeed what she has. She is almost 7 months old and just hit 11 pounds. She is fed through a g-tube only. I would LOVE to stay in touch with you! PLEASE email me at candicemassey@rocketmail.com. I have enjoyed seeing the pictures you have put out...my heart aches for you. Like I said, I think of you so much and you and your family will always be in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteWith love,
Candice
