Asking for many prayers, if you can add him and maybe our family to a church prayer list, help by donating as we are financially cursed... Blessed in so many ways though, never give up hope we will not...!
Thanks and God Bless...!

Attempted twice and failed both times!
Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is a surgical procedure for treatment of hydrocephalus in which an opening is created in the floor of the third ventricle using an endoscope placed within the ventricular system through a burr hole. This allows the cerebrospinal fluid to flow directly to the basal cisterns, thereby short-cutting any obstruction.

Since 2014 we have been fighting to survive. Anthony has been in and out for multiple brain surgeries and came close to death multiple times. Anthony & our family story was shared on many sites throughout social media. Anthony and our family received thousands of prayers, which is why I believe Anthony is getting better and never stops amazing me. His courage and faith is unbelievable sometimes as the kid always has a smile and despite his tumor he shows so much love to others, makes me a proud father..
