July 17, 2014, three days after her first birthday, Caroline was diagnosed with a Grade 1 Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytoma (JPA). This is one of the more common types of pediatric central nervous system tumors, but unfortunately attached to her optic nerve which makes it inoperable.  As part of the diagnosis, we were relieved to hear that this tumor is slow growing and only has a 2% chance of metastasizing; however the risk of going blind is extremely high.  As the recipient of this information...

On May 18, I received a phone call from the elementary school stating that Cadence had yet another headache and was vomiting. I picked her up from school and took her to the medical center in Macon. I told them that I wasn’t leaving until they did some kind of brain scan to determine what was causing the headaches. They did an MRI. The doctor came in and sat next to me and informed me that Cadence had a “mass” on her pituitary gland. After that, all I heard was “Blah blah blah… Hospital, now!”...
