Asking Prayers for Cade and Updates

CHIARI
"I DON'T LOOK SICK
I DON'T LOOK SICK, but my legs often feel like wet spaghetti and will go numb and give out on me without warning.
I DON'T LOOK SICK, but I live with an intense, deep exhaustion that makes every movement feel like I'm trying to move at the bottom of the ocean.
I DON'T LOOK SICK, but I suffer from an extremely sensitive heat intolerance that makes me feel light headed, ill and feint even in what feels like a normal room temperature to you.
I DON'T LOOK SICK, but my nerves often give me "phantom itches" that make me scratch myself raw at an itch that doesn't actually exist.
I DON'T LOOK SICK, but inside, my bones often feel like someone is using a jackhammer on them, especially during a change in weather.
I DON'T LOOK SICK, but if anything, even something little, stresses or worries me, my body rebels and symptoms flare up just for the fun of it.
I DON'T LOOK SICK, but it's extremely difficult for me to concentrate on anything, and as a result my memory suffers drastically.
I DON'T LOOK SICK, but the simplest tasks can take me 5 times longer and take 5 times as much energy to finish than a "normal" person.
I DON'T LOOK SICK, but you'll never know the struggle beneath the surface."

My mom called Houston neurosurgeon and they told her to take him to the nearest hospital. We thought he may have had a stroke but ct scans showed no signs of a stroke. He is now dealing with another new diagnosis and we’re praying the medication will cure this!

Please continue to pray for cadence! He needs all the support he can get during this time.

Today On Day 5, Cade underwent his 2nd day of light physical therapy, exhibiting improvement by walking greater distances and participating in a ball-tossing activity with his dad. In occupational therapy, he demonstrated the ability to sit up straight. Furthermore, Cade demonstrated self-awareness and assertiveness by expressing his limits to the therapist’s and nurse, telling them he had enough to leave him alone because he is hurting to bad to finish. I’m proud of him for finally speaking up!

Today makes Day 4… Cade has ate a few bites of each meal today and he finally was able to try and walk today. He walked 30 steps forward and back. He is still having pain as expected in the back of his head and his neck. Also having complaints with foggy vision and stomach pain from Anesthesia.

We will update you guys more later. The doctors had to do more than what they expected to do. Cade’s heart rate kept dropping in recovery so it was a long night yesterday. He’s been sleeping and complaining with pain. - Leya

Just to give a update

11/07/2024

Here we are asking for prayers for our baby boy Cade he is having surgery again in the morning at 8:30am. Basically same procedure we found out on august 1st after he complained of his legs going numb, his ribs having sharp pains, fingers locking up, his tailbone having sharp pains. So we requested another MRI and sure enough his syringomyelia (the fluid cyst in his spine) has increased in size. This surgery was supposed to happen a lot sooner but my baby begged to please go to Homecoming first and that’s what he did. PLEASE PRAY FOR A SUCCESSFUL SURGERY AND NO SHUNT HAS TO BE PLACED IN HIS BRAIN, THAT ONLY SCARRED TISSUE BE REMOVED AT THE BACK OF HIS SKULL SO THE CSF CAN FLOW CORRECTLY!

Following a thorough examination and review of Cade's recent test results, it appears that while the chiari malformation surgery performed on 11/2/2022 had been successful in alleviating some symptoms associated with cerebrospinal fluid flow obstruction at the base of his skull/upper neck area near where brain tissue descends through an opening into those regions below called foramen magnum; however minor changes have occurred within both compartments containing liquid inside each respective cavity which requires further observation since even small alterations could signal something more serious developing over time if left unchecked - so continued vigilance will be necessary moving forward!

(Cade made sure to speak up and told the doctor he is not having surgery)

Cade's Chiari decompression has healed well, but the syringomyelia (cyst) in his spine remains a concern. The top syrinx was previously 6mm and is now 6.3mm, while the lower syrinx was 4.5mm and is now 3mm. I have posted Picture’s from August 15, 2022 and today’s MRI February 8,2024.
