Hi everyone! Thank you for taking the time to read all about Caden!  He is almost 18mths old, loves his farm toy, especially the cows, growls like the dinosaurs and is always all smiles. He is the sweetest toddler, has the cutest giggle, and really just loves his family! He is currently in Florida awaiting surgery on 4/17 to have a tumor removed from his jaw. Caden was diagnosed with a Desmoplastic fibroma in March. The tumor is located on his right mandible portion of his jaw. The tumor is extremely rare, has a high reoccurrence rate, and will need to be surgically removed. The surgical team will remove his right mandible, and reconstructed using his rib, the removal of all the right sided glands and a lot of muscle, nerves and tissue. This is an extensive surgery with an expected recovery  to last several weeks. This fundraiser will benefit the future travel expenses for Caden’s dad while he recovers in Florida from an extensive reconstruction jaw surgery after the tumor removal. All remaining funds will be placed in an account for Caden to be used towards future expenses as he will need a second surgery when he is older to support his growth and teeth. Thank you so much for your prayers and support.
