update: just about one year ago now Mikey received his diagnosis of teratoma tumor with a yolk sac component, positive for germ cell cancer. The tumor was slightly smaller than a dodgeball in his chest cavity. 

Thankfull he is now just about 1 year post his surgery, multiple perceedures and  months out of chemo. Thank the Lord he is now Cancer free and being monitore closel! Unfortunately he is now dealing with the repercussions of all the Chemo. He is struggling debilitating headaches and lots of nerve damage with makes basic life tasks difficul.  In addition to all of this, over the last year my sister's health has taken a significant decline as well. 

During all of this my sister and has been unable to work due to Mikeys multiple hospitalizations, chemo, doctors visit and his current health status of neededing continuos care and her current health. unfortunately this has all built up and has certainly taken a toll. 

As a family, we’re doing everything possible to support them, but the mounting bills and lost income continue to be overwhelming and they are really struggling. Any donations will go directly to my sister to help cover their housing, food, bills, and basic needs. 

We are endlessly grateful for all the love, prayers, and support. Please continue to keep Mikey and my sister in your thoughts and prayers. Every one if felt. 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 💙
