<div>Starting in about September or October of 2024, Casey started having headaches and dizzy spells. He wanted to start living a healthier lifestyle. He changed his eating habits and started exercising more. At this time, Casey also started taking more vitamins and health supplements. Unfortunately, the headaches and dizzy spells increased and worsened.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On April 1, 2025, his wife, Traci, picked him up from work after he told her he felt like he was going to pass out during a meeting. They went to Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, CO. The ER did an EKG and a blood test. Everything came back normal. The ER thought it could be all the major changes all at once.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Casey’s health was still declining. The headaches were getting worse and he could barely stand long enough to make dinner. He told Traci on Monday, April 21, 2025, that he needed to go back to the ER. This time they went to the Parker Adventist Hospital in Parker, CO. Little did they know life as they knew it would change forever. The ER did the same tests as they did at Sky Ridge. Everything came back normal as they did before. For some reason, the ER doctor decided to do a CT scan on Casey. At that time, they found a large mass that was about 9.7 cm. He was then admitted to the hospital. The neurosurgeon came to see Casey the next morning, Tuesday, April 22nd. He wanted to do surgery to remove as much of the mass as they could. Later that day, Casey went in for brain surgery. The surgeon was able to get about 70-75% of the tumor out.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Casey went in for a follow-up appointment and to get his staples taken out about three weeks after surgery. The surgeon suggested radiation for 6 weeks and chemo by pill for about 6 months. Casey decided he wanted to go to MD Anderson in Houston, TX to see what they thought.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Casey and Traci traveled to Houston, TX on June 10, 2025, to meet with a specialist. The doctor thought the rest of the tumor could be taken out or at least more of the tumor. Casey was then referred to a neurosurgeon to review the case and get his opinion on whether or not he could get more of the tumor out. Casey got another MRI for the surgeon and medical team to review. After reviewing the results, the surgeon decided he could definitely get some or more of the tumor out.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Casey is scheduled for another craniotomy on Thursday, June 26, 2025.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Both Casey and Traci are taking leave from work at this time. There is no indication at this time when he will be returning based on healing and if radiation is necessary. <strong>If radiation is needed, he will need to be in Houston for about 6 weeks for treatment.</strong>
</div>
