Corwin update:

We got the news last week that he will be heading into surgery. His urine tests kept coming back higher and the latest ultrasound showed some abnormal growth so the doctors suggest it’s time to remove the mass. It was a shock for us, we were very hopeful it was shrinking on its own, but we know he is such a brave boy. God has sure been watching over us.
The first day he will complete another MRI, meet with his hematology/oncology doctor, and then the surgeon. The following day will be surgery. We ask for some positive thoughts and prayers over the next couple of weeks.

He’s been able to try some new foods, which he’s not so sure about yet. 😂 He went to his first branding, enjoyed his first Easter, and has been loving all the walks and outside time. Big sister Hadley and him have a special bond. Holding hands & sharing stories with each other. He’s very patient and has the best smile!

Thank you all for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. We sure appreciate all the support we have received ❤️❤️

We need raffle/silent auction items! If anybody is interested in donating anything to help us raise some money for this sweet little guy please reach out to us so we can get things put together! Also if anybody wants to just come check things out, make a donation, whatever, but not do the run we should be back to the fairgrounds around 5:00 pm (May 10th) to start our raffles and silent auctions etc.

We also need a couple volunteers to help out with cards at our stops. 😊

This year we are donating all our proceeds to little Corwin. Here is his story.💙

Corwin is 4 months old and was diagnosed with stage 4S neuroblastoma on his left adrenal gland at birth. A neuroblastoma is a cancer that develops in the nerve tissue usually in children under the age of 5.
At 36 weeks pregnant we were offered to have an additional ultrasound done and that’s when they found what they thought was just a cyst on his kidney. At 2 weeks old he had an ultrasound and CT scan completed. That’s when we were referred to Kalispell for the children’s hematologist/oncologist where the cancer was confirmed.
He has completed several ultrasounds, MRIs, MIBG scans, urine tests, and blood tests in only his short 4 months of life. We will continue to get routine ultrasounds, MRI’s, urine, and blood tests done to make sure the cancer is not growing or spreading. If it does they will surgically remove the mass. This will be an ongoing process for at least the next 5 years of his life or more to confirm the cancer isn’t present anywhere else in his body.

Corwin is such a sweet little baby and brings so much light to everyone around him!
