Prayers for baby Wade

Hey everybody my name is Ashley Schisler, I want to introduce you to my oldest son Wade Schisler who will be 3 in October. Up until he was was about a year old he experienced a completely normal life, until he started experiencing some strange mild symptoms, including him not being able to walk, some mild shaking, and minor muscle weakness. Those symptoms started developing extremely quickly to where my once independent active boy can barely feed himself or function as a normal child his age should. At first a form of muscular dystrophy was thought to be the cause of the symptoms however that has been ruled out after further testing. His most recent swallow study showed that he has been aspirating into his lungs so he will be having to have a feeding tube put in place this Tuesday. We are hopeful that his recent MRI will give up more information because all of his doctors so far of stumped. As you can imagine our medical expenses for the countless tests and doctors visits have already cost us thousands with no end in sight and we could use all the help from our family and friends we can get. Ill be linking our go fund me, PayPal, and other cash pay apps if anyone feels it in their heart to bless us and help take even a little bit of financial strain off of us as he doesn't qualify for Medicaid and insurance isn't covering nearly enough. Please share wades story and follow along with us as we fight to find answers for our child and get him the quality of life he deserves.

4/13/24 UPDATE‼️ Wades MRI and genetics testing came back, both confirming he has Adrenoleukodystrophy. It’s really been progressing fast these last few months. He can no longer feed himself and can hardly even crawl anymore out just getting completely exhausted. He started his physical therapy yesterday at 212 Therapy in Beaumont. His therapist said he is functioning like a 7month old baby. Please pray for us. His next appointment is Monday in Houston with his neurologist. He is also scheduled to get his G-tube and have a muscle biopsy on April 23rd.

UPDATE‼️4/21/24

Last Monday, we had Wades genetic results read to us. We were told originally the it’s was ALD, but the Dr. confirmed he has Metrochromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD). There is nothing they can do for him. It was the most devastating news of my life. He can no longer crawl or even sit up on his own. It’s progressing extremely fast. G-tube is still scheduled for Tuesday morning, please keep the prayers coming for this precious baby❤️
