Blaine's Battle Against Medulloblastoma
Donation protected
I am attempting to help Lee and Amanda Medalen as they embark on yet another battle. A lot of you may remember last year when their daughter Sophia had an accident the left her in serious condition. Today Sophia is living a happy life, but continues to go to therapies.
A couple months ago their baby Isabella was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called Rhett's disease. She too will be undergoing therapies for her entire life.
To top it all off their son Blaine has been diagnosed with cancer. He has had the tumor removed off of his brain, and while the good news is it has not spread into his spinal fluid, the bad news is that it is aggressive, and we will have to do some aggressive fighting. Amanda and Blaine will be headed to Mayo shortly to begin Proton therapy and radiation.
This Go fund me is an attempt to help them with the astronomical amount of medical bills they are accruing. As well as travel expenses for Amanda and Blaine, and overall living expenses for the other kids.
Lee and Amanda are two of the most giving people you will ever meet. They are proud, but they are also in need of support. If you are unable to give financially, but have it on your heart to help them in any other way, please reach out to me and I will let you know other ways you may be able to help.
Last of all, please pray.
****************** Blaine's back story*******************
Blaine has been having headaches for six months or more. Tuesday(9-24) we took him in for an MRI, and Wednesday(9-25) we got the call no parent ever wants to receive. They found a tumor on the scan and asked us to bring him into the ER as soon as we could. After five long hours in the ER, we met with the neuro surgeons and went over the scan. They found the tumor on the back of his head in his brain, and it was blocking the spinal fluid from going down the spine. That is what was causing pressure and causing the headaches. So we were admitted to the hospital to start a plan
