To our friends, family, and complete strangers that have become our prayer warriors, thank you. Our family's nightmare is turning into a blessing and nothing short of a miracle how everything fell into place. Mason is stable and breathing on his own but still has a long journey to a full recovery. For those that don't know the background, Nicolle took him in the ER on Monday night for what we thought would be diagnosed as a migraine. An MRI revealed a large tumor on the right side of his brain. We are still in shock not just over the size but how little Mason complained, he had to be more uncomfortable than he lead on. We realize he was trying to be strong during his mom's chemotherapy treatment.
His surgery was scheduled for Fri but early Wed morning he quit breathing on his own and his brain began to swell. The doctors tried to get him stabilized before surgery but when his tumor started to hemorrhage, he was immediately taken in for surgery. His surgeons are confident they removed all the tumor; it is malignant but we are waiting to find out the exact type.
Yesterday he was taken off the ventilator and within minutes he opened his eyes and responded. He has his full memory and his sense of humor. His speech and recognition are there, but movement of the left side of his body will take some time to regain mobility. The doctors expect it to take about a month.
He is still in the ICU and his doctors are not allowing any visitors. We will try to keep everyone updated and are so thankful for all the love and support. Our family feels the love and prayers, keep them coming.
Thank you, from the entire Rowley family
