Team Matt Adonis
On September 6th, just one day before our 9 year old beautiful twins Matthew and Madyson were supposed to start 4th grade, our precious little boy Matthew, was diagnosed with a brain tumor- a medullablastoma. Matthew had recently started having mild headaches and nausea. Doctors first thought it was just migraines but we knew something wasn’t right. We went back for another visit with our doctor and she sent us to a neurologist and within a few days we were having an MRI done. The morning of the MRI when Matthew was finished, a team of people came out to meet us to give us the news that our little boy had a brain tumor. We were in shock and completely heartbroken. How could our beautiful, loveable, fun loving, sweet as sweet can be, goofball, athletic, hockey playing, lacrosse playing little boy have a brain tumor? The fear, the heartache, the sadness, washed over all of us. Our life as we knew it, would no longer be. Our new life would be filled with fear (but also with hope, love and faith) as we spend the next days, weeks, and months fighting to save our baby’s life and cure him from this awful illness. No child should ever have to suffer through such a horrific illness.
