Adrian was an awesome kid he's was always happy, playing, running, and enjoying life. On summer 2013 he got sick. He would vomit and complain of stomach ache. I took him to his doctor and the doctors said he had an stomach infection. The symptoms were gone like for 2-3 weeks then he began vomiting again, he lost his appetite, he's balances seem to he disturbed; so I took him to the emergency room and after some test they said he was dehydrated. We went home after 24 hours. The days kept passing by and he seem skinner, didn't want to run because he would fall. I started noticing that he couldn't see that good, that he was having balance problems. The vomiting persisted and I didn't know what to to because I took him to different hospitals and all they said the same thing that it was stomach infection. I knew deep inside me that something was wrong with my son. I took him to this other hospital and took all the evidence from the other doctors to this hospital and there my son got a CT scan and that's when the doctor found out that Adrian had hydrocephalus and a brain tumor at the posterior fossa of the brain. He was sent immediately to Children hospital of Oakland . There he got a shunt to drainage the extra liquid out and three days after the shunt placement he had a 15 hour brain surgery to remove the mass. The neurologist was able to remove 98% of the tumor but because Adrian has meduloblastoma a really aggressive brain tumor he needed to get chemotherapy. He began with his first chemo on November 2, 2013. He would get really sick because if the side effects of the chemo but he always was a happy kid. All the doctors and nurses loved him because no matter how sick he was he always had. Smile on his face; singing all the time, watching movies, playing the drums, walking down the hall, he was responding really good to chemo until one day after getting his third chemo he began to retain liquid on his body; got whole body edema, breathing complications, and blister all over his body. He was sent to PICU where he was put in a breathing machine, a dialysis machine, and a great variety of medications. He was there for two weeks fighting for his life. It was devastating for everybody the family and even including the staff of the hospital to see that little kid full of strength and happiness just laying down in a bed and not able to move. He lost the battle against cancer on February 27, 2014. it's really painful not having him any more and seeing that happy little kid who was the inspiration of the whole family. He had left a huge hole in my heart. He was my only kid and he was my life. I know that one day I'll se my little warrior again. Now he is on gods side.
