He will be 12 in 3 days. He wasn’t suppose to see age 5. He’s been through treatment twice for inoperable metastasized brain cancer. Living through it with both brain and spinal tumors along with hydrocephalus. A cervical spinal biopsy that caused him to lose the use of his arms for well over a year needing vigorous rehab to get them back. It took over a year for him to be able to just put a shirt on. Spinal fusion and decompression surgery because he developed kyphosis in his cervical spine and it became dangerous and life threatening. He’s suffered in chronic pain for 8 years in his lower back, buttocks and legs. He could barely walk let alone run, jump or play at times because of the pain. Often needing a wheelchair if there was a lot of walking involved. The pain in his neck and shoulders has also increased over the years preventing him from activities. He spent a full month in a daily pain management program learning how to manage and live with chronic pain. That was just this past summer. *️⃣But look at him. Look at this miracle of a child here. *️⃣ He did the high ropes course at Bair Lake today on his middle school field trip. As he climbed the ladder and was able to do just that, the tears came. I couldn’t help it. All he’s overcome. All he’s been through. He is truly amazing. Proud doesn’t even describe how I felt. Honored to witness his pure strength and determination coming through in this activity that he was ABLE to do today. So amazing. So awesome. Adler Bear Carris. Our son.
