Tanner’s Journey

Tanner update 10/24

He was transferred out of PICU and to a room on the oncology floor. After radiation today, we should be getting to go to our home away from home. He is doing about the same but they said we could do the same thing at home they are doing in there and if we needed them, we are close by and to come on to the hospital. We are being discharged with hospice, just like we had at home. Continued prayers for him and us as we go through all of this.

Our boy is so strong and smiles through the pain. (Pictures are of him finding out that his newest nephew will be named after him!)

We love you all. 🩶🎗️

Tanner 10/23 morning update

Yesterday was his first day of photon radiation, he done well with it but his blood pressure was running high and they needed to administer the emergency medicine to bring it down on the transport back to Children’s National. He ended up aspirating on the medication and was brought back to the PICU with lights and sirens. They done an X-ray and everything was clear! He rested for a few hours and then he was ready to eat. He sat up and joked and laughed for bit and was having a great night! So far this morning, he has ate his breakfast and has been aggravating Trav and watching movies.

Transport will be getting him to take him back to Sibley Memorial for his second day of radiation in just a few minutes. Prayers for him to be able to get through this treatment today and get back to Children’s National without any complications. 🩶

We will update more as we know more! Thank you all for the prayers, the support, and the love shown to our boy and us! We love you all and are so appreciative of Team Tanner! 🩶🎗️

There’s not much to update of bubba since we left the hospital. He’s done a lot of sleeping and has had family come spend time with him from dad’s side of the family and has some of mom’s side of the family on their way now. We just ask for continued prayers to cover our boy and us.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to help us be able to stay with our boy in DC during this difficult time. We can never thank you all enough.

We love you all! 🩶🎗️

After a very scary and rough night, Tanner had a fairly good day. Three of his siblings came for a visit and they all enjoyed being able to be with their brother. It brought him so much joy. 🩶

We were transferred from Children’s National to Sibley Memorial just for his radiation simulation and face mask mold and then brought back to Children’s. We’ve not gotten much of any good news while we’ve been here but we know who the ultimate healer is and that’s the faith we have to hold on to.

We really request your prayers for Tanner for comfort, your prayers for us as his parents as we are having to watch our boy suffer and not be able to do much for him, and pray for his siblings to find comfort in spending time with their brother and as a family. 🩶🎗️

Tanner had an extra special visitor today, Jordan Stout, the punter for the Baltimore Ravens! Jordan took time out of his day to just come be with Tanner and be present and talk with him about any and everything. It definitely made our hearts happy to see our boy smile!

We received some updates today but for right now, I want to share the positive that made our boy’s day! 🩶💜

Tanner update 10/13

We just talked to Dr Hwang and they have him hooked up to the EEG because they think he is having seizures and causing him to just be out of it, tired, and lifeless.

They want to adjust his meds and then they want to do radiation again. They are thinking around 3 weeks of radiation but we know more when we see Dr Ladra. They are hopeful that it will slow the growth but they can’t promise. They don’t know if they have anymore chemo options that they can offer but are still looking. They feel radiation is our last line of defense.

We asked Tanner if he wanted to do the radiation again, because it is his body that had to go through it, and he agreed to do it. Dr Hwang was bery straight forward with us about this diagnosis and feels with radiation we will have longer with our boy.

We ask everyone to be praying for our sweet boy and that his body heals from this. We just want to see our boy better. God promised him that he would be okay and we are holding onto that faith.

We love you all and appreciate everything everyone has done for us! We can never thank you all enough. Our boy is a fighter and he shows it every day! 🩶🎗️

Midday update on bubba 10/13

Dr Packer came in this morning, he’s wanting to hook him back up to EEG again, and is worried about a possible stroke. We are currently waiting on a quick CT or MRI to check for bleeding after his infusion yesterday.

Tanner is having a hard talking today, which is so hard to see. He’s also having a lot of pain today. Please, please pray for our boy and for us, as this is so hard to see and not be able to take it away from him.

We love you all. 🩶🎗️

Tanner Update 10/12

We are still in the hospital in DC. We’ve not received many answers or updates since we’ve been here.

We did get vague information on his MRI results. His tumor has grown just a small amount but (from what we’ve heard from other oncologists, not his own) the diffuse of the tumor is curved more inward towards the midline. There’s a lot of edema (swelling) in the cranial area and pressure.

We also know that his blood pressure is staying high so they’ve started him on a BP med and have rescue meds to give as well.

They have mentioned a possible mass of the kidneys and we are awaiting an ultrasound to rule that out, so please pray with us on that!

We will continue to update as we get updates. We love you all and are so appreciative of everything everyone has done for us and continues to do!

Our GoFundMe link is attached, but please don’t feel obligated to give anything!

Prayers for Tanner. Mom had to grab him from his hunting trip to bring him to DC for an admission. He had at least 4 seizures and is experiencing some increased deficits.

We are currently waiting on MRI to come grab him for a full brain and spine scan and then they are going to hook him up to EEG for continuous monitoring. We’re unsure as to how long they plan to do that.

Please be praying for our strong boy to feel better and for good reports from his testing. Also pray for us as we await the results. 🩶🎗️
