Riley's battle fund
Donation protected
My lovely cousin Riley, aged 8, has recently been diagnosed with a brain tumour and fluid around his brain. The tumour is right at the back of his head, blocking fluid from flowing. He went into hospital on the 23rd December, just before Christmas.
After suffering with severe headaches, being sick and losing weight for around 6months, which was not picked up by doctors and other health care professionals.
He has started steroid treatment on the 23rd December. He’s been so brave so far, he went down for his MRI earlier that day to see if the tumour has spread to his spine and other close places but they had to stop as his heart rate dropped too low. Therefore he was rushed straight to theatre to have a drain put into his brain to drain off the fluid.
He is due to have an operation in the near future, unfortunately Riley hasn’t been home for a normal family Christmas and won’t be home for the new year.
His mother Emily is also taking care of a baby whilst caring for Riley in the hospital. Emily needs to care for her baby whilst remaining at the hospital which is difficult and also costly especially with the baby not being aloud in the hospital due to covid.
