Paris with a childhood brain tumor

Donation protected

Hi,
My name is Erika. Im the mother of this little beautiful child you see here,Paris, Joining me in giving you our story is her stepdad Jesus, alot of you know as Kilo.. who has been helping me raise our sweet Paris since she was 9 months old. We're a big family of 3 beautiful little girls ( Maya 7, Paris 5, & Amaris 2) & 1 sweet boy (Royce 5) from Bay City, Texas. A small town about 50 miles south of Houston. Recently my daughter started having headaches thats triggered my mind to know, somethings going on that isnt normal.... my reaction was to only wait it out and keep her pediatrician up to date on things but, on June 15th Paris had her 1st siezure episode in the back of my car as I was pumping gas at Walmart, with furthing testing and an MRI that was ordered by her nuerologist...  our world spun in cirlces as reality set forth and her results of the MRI done on July 23rd was overlooked and on July 25th There was a discovery.....Paris was diagnosed with a Tectal Glioma Brain Tumor on the left side of her Brain Stem, making surgery not at all an option nor a biopsy..... at this point her Nuerologist Mrs Melissa Jones, did let us know that we are in the discovery phase so all we know is at some point depending on the growth of her tumor which is measuring at 7x7mm, is considered benine........ a following siezure epidosde happened and Paris was hospitalized for 3 days at Texas Childrens Hosptial in Houston Texas so as of August 6th, which an MRI was manditory due to the pressure the siezure causes,  it came back stable. There was a slight growth of a 3mm growth but by the grace of God, there was no fluid build up, or abnormal pressure or any threats affectings her that we could see a change in. Lets all have faith the future MRI's show no tumor or a tumor that isnt growing. Her tumor is considered cancerous but it  will not spread outside of the tumor;  the main focus of the neurosurgeon and her nuerologist is the growth  and how fast or how slow the process itself is going. Removal of the tumor is consider almost an impossible procedure do to how vital the area is of the tumor (which is right on the relay station in her brain) so the only treatment would be radiation and chemotherapy & If the growth continues as it has, it will be manditory to shrink the tumor as small as possible. Insurance only covers so much of her treatment being that her nuerologists, nuerosurgeons, and MRI appointments will be needed often to monitor the tumor so the deductibles and procedures insurance won't cover will be very costly and being in this situation and not being able to work as a mom,  is gonna take a toll on our family as Jesus is the only 1 employed. So I just ask that anyone donate whatever they feel in there heart to allow Paris to continue receiving the proper treatment and care, All donations will go directly to Paris Co-pays for both her Nuerologist and Nuerosuergon visits, any futher hospital stays, the coming of Doctor visit and the travel expenses, Theres so many other things that have came up as far as medical bills go that we have yet to pay off, like the $2,000 ambulance trip for the last trip from Matagorda Regional to Texas Childrens..... ehh but we do want to Thank you all so much, your donations are greatly appreciated and we will keep everyone updated as this journey has just begun, We also ask for prayers as the only person that can fully heal our sweet Paris is the MAN thats giving us strength and guidance in all this and that works miracles on a daily basis; Christ himself. We will maintin to keep our eyes on the God we serve and pray this tumor stays just as small or has no growth.... We will also speak a miracle and PRAY GOD REMOVES this illness from our little Paris brain. We plan to withdrawl whatever funds are needed as this starts for all her future Medical Visits, Co-Pays, & her incoming medical bills. We will try to set up payment plans on whatever medical cost are allowed.

We thank you all for the donations. They're greatly apprecaited and we cant express our gratitude to those that have reached out and donated towards this campaign. You all are truly a blessing.
