Sew in love with Wiscurzoos

Unbelievable!! Those Wiscurzoos sure bring magic to our household. Maverick had the sewing machine working double time yesterday. He wanted so badly to break $2000; with only 9 more Wiscurzoos! He sold 11!!! So proud of him, he is thinking of all sorts of ways to keep the spirit going. Thank you everyone that has supported our family this season. From donated material and stuffing, to tiger stamps on Christmas cards from the wishing well to wiscurzoos; we love you!! Thanks to all of you and may all those Wiscurzoos spread love and happiness.

About Mason Arik

To continue Mason's dream and his memory, we dedicate this blog to him. He has been diagnosed with Diffuse Pontine Glioma (Brain Tumor) (04/22/10). He courageously battled his cancer for 11 1/2 months. On March 29th, 2011, it was snowing in Heaven. He is and will be missed forever. We will continue to write and share the strength and courage that Mason has taught us as well as the many other lives he has touched, near and far. Links are listed below to provide additional information regarding DIPG.

Discovery of Tumor-Dx April 22, 2010

Beginning in March of 2010, Mason complained of severe headaches, mostly at night. Then the headaches went from 2-3 times a month (over a 2 month period) to every night and more severe, by the 3rd night I contacted his pediatrician. I was told to give him Excedrin Migraine.

But by the next day we were walking to school and he had double vision- Thanks to the school nurse, we scheduled an appointment that day with Sabates eye care. After his eye was dilated they noticed his eyes were shifting. An immediate MRI was scheduled.

After the most agonizing MRI, we went home awaiting the results. That's when we were told it was a tumor (pontine glioma) We waited to visit the doctor before researching the internet. So imagine the shock to hear this is the worst locations to find a tumor, inside the brain stem. (inoperable and unfortunately very serious)
