Hi everyone, my name is Cindy, and I’m a mom to three boys. Writing this is incredibly difficult, but I’m doing it for my son, Bleu. A few days ago, Bleu began experiencing severe headaches that lasted for a few days. Trusting my instincts, I took him to the emergency room—never imagining how quickly our world would turn upside down. After imaging was done, doctors discovered a large cystic mass in Bleu’s brain that was causing pressure, swelling, and a buildup of spinal fluid. In addition, imaging showed excessive white matter changes, which doctors explained can be associated with inflammation, pressure on the brain, or other underlying neurological conditions. This finding added another layer of concern and is something that still needs further evaluation and monitoring. Everything moved very fast. Bleu was transferred by medical flight to a children’s hospital, where a team of neurologists and neurosurgeons took over his care. Hearing words like brain mass, hydrocephalus, excess white matter, and biopsies about your child is something no parent is ever prepared for. Bleu has since undergone surgery to relieve the pressure by opening the cyst so his spinal fluid can drain properly. Multiple biopsies were taken and sent to the lab, and we are now waiting for answers—hoping and praying for clarity, healing, and the best possible outcome. He is being closely monitored day and night as doctors determine next steps and continue to evaluate the white matter findings.

Right now, our focus is fully on Bleu’s recovery and well-being. This journey comes with overwhelming emotional stress, time away from work, extended hospital stays, travel expenses, and ongoing medical costs—many of which we don’t yet know the full extent of. Bleu is strong, brave, and deeply loved. We are leaning on faith, medicine, and the kindness of others as we walk through this unknown. If you are able to help—whether through a donation, a prayer, or simply sharing this page—it would mean more to our family than words can express. Every contribution will go directly toward Bleu’s medical care and helping our family remain by his side during this incredibly difficult time. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting our sweet boy.
