Hello to our friends and family!
A day we hoped never would come is upon us. After over 3 years of good health post-heart-transplant, Eddie was experiencing some peculiar symptoms that took some time and advocating to get to the bottom of and confirm our fears. He is now awaiting treatment for cancer discovered in his throat, specifically squamous cell carcinoma. It was not a quick discovery unfortunately, and as a person on immuno-suppressive therapy, this gave time for rapid and painful growth. His treatments will likely be 7 weeks of consistent radiation and chemotherapy followed by many months of recovery. We remain positive that this particular cancer has a high cure rate but also one of the most brutal in terms of treatment. Due to the nature and location of this treatment, his team has referred him for a feeding tube to help keep him nourished and hydrated through this time and thereafter until he is able to fully regain his ability to eat and drink. This will leave him out of work for several months to focus on fighting, resting, and recovery. We know this is news no one wants to hear but we value you're support and prayers for Eddie and our young family.
As many of you know, Griffin started day school and we will continue to strive to keep his day to day life as normal as possible and I will be staying home to continue to care for Eddie.
Some who already know have asked how best they can support our family at this time and though the journey is still quite unknown, we know you are all here with us.
In addition to your endless love, support, and prayers, we would graciously accept any monetary help you'd like to gift. Through this GoFundMe, we can allocate as needed towards medical and treatment costs, added transportation needs, and household bills that continue as normal even when Eddie is on medical leave.
We will continue to update as possible and remain hopeful for a smooth road ahead.
If you wouldn't mind, please help grow our support system by sharing.
