Jake's Journey with Ewing sarcoma

02/26/2026

Please check out the info for our upcoming fundraiser in support of pediatric cancer patients. Let's do this for Jake and all the other kids currently in the fight of their life, as well as to honor all the sweet angels who have left us way too soon. We appreciate any and all support to help us BLAST away cancer!

As always, thank you for following us in this journey over the past 3 years. This means the world to us! Go Team Jake

As most of you know, I am a pediatrician at Cook Children’s and every year they hold a fundraiser called The Blast to show kids and families affected by cancer that they’ll never walk alone. The Blast raises money for pediatric cancer research, treatment and care. Every dollar counts on our miss...

Two steps forward, one step back. Story of our lives lately. Well here we go again…

Jake had scans last week. His lungs are clear 🙌🏼. But his MRI showed an enlarging mass in his arm. Thankfully further studies showed it appeared to be fluid and not a tumor. So here we are, back in Houston for yet another surgery to drain whatever this fluid is inside his arm.

This emotional roller coaster sure does take its toll but Jake remains in good spirits and was being silly and joking around even as they were rolling him to the OR. Wish life could give him a break after all he’s been through but on the bright side he currently has no evidence of cancer in his body and that is something we are so grateful for 🙏🏼❤️

Yesterday Jake got the chest tube removed and didn’t even flinch (mom and dad did though 😩). The plan was to go home last night but unfortunately his chest xray showed a tiny pneumothorax so to be safe they decided to monitor him another night. Today his xray looked perfect so we got to go home 🙌🏼

We are still just so amazed by Jake’s resilience. Looking at him today you’d never even know he had lung surgery 3 days ago. He’s already asking if he can pick out a present for what he went through this week🙄
Of course my love, you deserve ALL the things ❤️
