Cancerous brain tumor

For those of you who don't know me my names Khloey and I'm Malekais mum.

Unfortunately on the 16th of August 2024 my son Malekai had been sick for a few months prior, we were advised to go and get his eyes tested due to severe migraines and vomitting. We visited specsavers on the 16th of August with one of the worst cases of Papilloedema they've ever seen (Swollen optic nerves). We were highly advised to present to the emergency department for further treatment. Upon arrival and after a CT scan and MRI it was confirmed my son Malekai had severe pressure in his brain and a mass tumor which was blocking his cf fluid around his brain.

I was told 'I'm sorry your son has a brain tumor'

Malekai needed emergency surgery in darwin to have a shunt put in his brain to drain the fluid to minimise the pressure before being care flighted from Royal Darwin Hospital to the Women's and Children's hospital where he would then have to undergo major brain surgery

On Tuesday the 27th of August - Malekai under went major brain surgery (13 hours)

The tumor was 97% removed, unable to take the full tumor due to safety reasons if they did and complications

Malekai then presented in the PICU the paediatric intensive care unit for 8 days until he was then moved to a normal ward. Oncologist confirmed last week the brain tumor was cancerous, low grade stage 1-2 glioma.

Malekai will need ongoing treatment such as chemotherapy to try and kill off whatever tumor is remaining, unfortunately this is a reoccurring tumor so at some stage it will come back

Due to unforeseen traumatic circumstances I've had to seize working to be by my sons side and for future treatment

As majority of you know im a sole parent, I raise 3 babies on my own and I still have a life I need to live outside of the hospital with raising the other 2 children, petrol costs, accommodation costs while being here, and as you'd know alot of other costs.

Anything that is donated will be to paid towards the above listed. Please keep my baby in your prayers. We have already gone through so much and still have a long way to recover.
