Team Oliver

This page is dedicated to Oliver my baby who is paralyzed from being beat with a baseball bat 6 years ago to now being diagnosed with a terminal brain cancer. This page is his journey. His tumor is terminal due to its location under the brain and close to the spinal cord. It is a meningioma and at its current growth rate Oliver only has 1 or 2 months to live. I am shocked beyond belief. But my husband and I are not giving up on our baby. We have decided to start IMRT -- Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy. The treatment will last through 6 sessions during a total of 4 weeks. If the treatment is successful, Oliver could live past a year. When it comes down to the end I will be providing the hospice care myself. I am blessed to own a company (that saves animals) and that my time is flexible. My part in the business will have to slow down but I know Larry, my business partner, will support Hendrick and Co when it’s needed. I have already built out a room for Oliver in our offices. I have a bed and equipment at my home as well so there is literally not one moment when he will be without me. Even when I go to the bathroom (TMI, I know) or take a bath he has his little bed in there so that I can handle his seizures if he has any. Oliver is the strongest most beautiful thing I have ever witnesses. He gives me strength when I have none. He gives me hope when I have none. And he fills me with love. We are done yet. Our fight against brain cancer has just begun! Oliver will share his journey with out all on this page. Oliver’s Loving Fathers,
David & Mason
