Jaxson Kidd's Superhero Fundraiser

​On Saturday, February 9th, 2013, the doctor informed the Kidd family that Jaxson had a brain tumor and their lives were forever changed. Jaxson immediately had a stint placed in his brain to relieve the pressure to save his life. This surgery was followed by another very lengthy surgery to remove as much of the brain tumor as possible. The biopsy came back following the surgery with a diagnosis of Medulloblastoma, a cancerous brain tumor.
​The Kidd family then headed to Oklahoma City after recovering from his surgeries to receive 7 weeks of proton radiation. Once the radiation was completed, the Kidd family returned to Tulsa and Jaxson began 55 weeks of chemotherapy. Jaxson had numerous hospital stays, fevers and infections. Due to this, Jaxson completed most of his 1st grade school work homebound.
​Jaxson has now started 2nd grade at Bixby North Elementary and is able to attend class more often. Jaxson continues to fight headaches and is also dealing with numerous side effects from the treatment he has received over the past 62 weeks. He has regular appointments with the psychologist, physical therapist, oncologist, neurosurgeon, endocrinologist and a hearing doctor. Jaxson also has follow-up MRIs of his brain and spine to watch for tumor re-growth. Jaxson’s journey is far from over, but he is strong and a fighter! 
 
Jaxson's friends are wanting to raise money for his family, so they can focus less on paying bills and more on Jaxson and quality time spent together.
