Update 10/9/25

Mason has been doing really well and working very hard!

In August Mason had his MRI and everything came back stable still praise god!! Also in August Mason did an intensive Therapy called robotics therapy , this was a 2 week intensive 2 hour days of physical and occupational therapy. Robotics therapy is a type of rehabilitation that uses robotic devices to help people regain movement, strength, and coordination. Mason did so well and he started to use his right hand a little more. Robotics just woke up that right hand.

In September Mason had his eye surgery, it went well and he did amazing and handled everything so much better than we anticipated he would. At the end of September until now Mason has been busy doing another round of intensive therapy called constraint induced movement therapy, this is where they constrain his good arm which is the left arm and it makes him have to use his right. These are long therapy days he’s been doing this for 3 hours a day for 2 weeks and today is his last day! Today was his last day and they did a little ceremony for him.

We have a little break until December where he will doing another intensive for physical therapy this will also be 3 hour days for 2 weeks.

Videos will be posted separately.

Hi everyone sorry we haven’t posted in a while. We meant to post when Mason had his last MRI back in February but time got away from us. Since the last time we posted mason has been doing amazing and finally got to meet Santa for the first time, got his first hair cut, saw and played in the snow for the first time, and got a puppy. Mason also turned 2 back at the end of April!! He’s been a very busy guy with all his therapies.

Mason just had his MRI one year post radiation and everything came back still stable!! He has been doing amazing and is such a happy guy!

Mason has a very busy summer schedule. He of course is still getting his PT, speech, and OT therapies weekly. On July 3 Mason’s having Strabismus eye surgery to correct the positioning of his left eye, also with doing the eye surgery the hope is it will correct his head tilt.

Then in August Mason is going for intensive robotics therapy this will be done to help strengthen his muscles. Then at the end of September Mason will be going for constraint induced movement therapy this is to help him to use his right hand as he should be.

Thank you everyone for the continued prayers,love and support!!

Hi everyone it’s been awhile since we have posted. Mason is doing so good!

Mason had his MRI and it went well everything still looks stable and his oncologist are happy with what they have seen.

We have had a very busy last 3 months in between all the therapies, traveling, and doctor appointments.

At the end of August we were able to travel with Mason back home to Kansas and finally got to introduce him to all the family. We felt so blessed to be able to have Mason meet his aunts, uncles, cousins, great aunts & uncles, great grandma, etc. definitely was glad to be able to see everyone we were able to as always it was bittersweet to leave.

Once we got back to Georgia Mason started physical and occupational therapy twice a week and speech once a week. Mason has been working so hard and is making some progress and big strides. He graduated from feeding therapy to actual speech therapy. We can sit him up and he can stay sitting and hold it for a while until he either just gets tired or loses his balance. He is starting to push himself forward and pivots and rolls all over. He says bye, dada, mama, meow, and is working on go. He can sign more and all done. He is doing so much more.

At the end of September Mason got sick and we ended up taking him to the ER he had a ct scan and shunt series done everything came back good. He then later got admitted in to the hospital due to him being severely dehydrated from getting sick so much. I don’t think we will ever not be worried or scared when he gets sick or vomiting, our minds go automatically to something is horribly wrong.

Mason had an audiology appointment in September and didn’t pass the hearing on his left ear so they referred us to a ENT which found he had fluid build up so in October he had tubes placed, he had another audiology test done last week and he passed with his left ear except on a couple high pitch tones.

For Halloween Mason passed out candy with mom & dad and got to see all the kids dressed up which he enjoyed seeing.

Last year this time we were stuck in the hospital where we also spent Masons first Thanksgiving. This year we are so grateful to be able to be home and host thanksgiving and have grandpa and grandma come over.

Mason has come so far since last year we can’t thank you all enough for all the prayers, love, and support and continued prayers, love, and support! This year for Thanksgiving we are so grateful for all of you and so grateful that Mason is doing well.
