One of our life long Bonners Ferry residents is facing something no one should have to go through at such a young age. As some may have heard, Osa Orison has been given news no one wants to hear; that he has a tumor on his spinal cord.
He has been experiencing numbness in his entire right arm along with a tingling sensation that he thought was from an unrelated injury. When the MRI scans came back the doctor confirmed there is a tumor the size of a Robins egg on his spinal cord. Osa will be having surgery in Seattle this month to have it removed and they will be doing a biopsy on the tumor to determine if it is benign or malignant after it is removed.
I am sure you can imagine the hardship and recovery time he will be facing as he will be in the hospital for a few days along with being out of work for weeks while he heals. I am starting a GoFundMe for medical expenses, travel, and being out of work. If you are able to donate or just send a prayer/positive vibes that would mean everything!
