Time flies, and the growth spurts are proof of it. But there is a hidden side to rapid adolescent growth that’s so important to know. Did you know that osteosarcoma most commonly develops during these intense growth periods? Because bone cells are multiplying and dividing at an accelerated pace, they are highly vulnerable to spontaneous DNA mutations that can lead to tumors. Sharing this because awareness matters just as much as celebrating how much they’ve grown. Check out Jett's transformation over the last few years! These are pictures I took in May 2023, May 2024, and May 2025 with his sister MaKylie, who is 3 years older than he is. As many of you know Jett was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma July 8, 2025 👇

Jett, would do this quite often. I caught him this one time in a video. ❤️

Just found out that Jett’s primary insurance company officially declined to cover his jackknife procedure. Because apparently, insurance companies know more about what a kid needs than their own doctors do?
Navigating the healthcare system is a whole project in itself, but we are working on the next steps to get this sorted out for him. I asked her how much it would be out of pocket and she said it would put anyone in financial ruins.
Has anyone else had to fight a random denial like this recently? Hit me with your best tips for winning the appeal process! 👇👇

Small world story time! ✨ We are out here having the best time at Disneyland, and guess who we ran into? Officer Plath! 🚓🎁
If you live in Oakdale where we do, you know he was always the fun cop in town who would pull people over just to surprise the kids with presents. He saw Jett today and kept the tradition alive by gifting him two Disney pins! It truly is a magical world. So great seeing you, Officer Plath!

I will never forget the moment I took this picture.
We were sitting in a Texas airport last July, waiting to get Jett started on chemotherapy. He was in so much excruciating pain right here. As his mom, watching him suffer like this broke me—I would have given anything to trade places with him in a heartbeat. Once we finally made it to the hospital, the pain was so severe they had to put him on morphine immediately, followed by a fentanyl 50 patch just to make it manageable.
This is the raw, devastating reality of Osteosarcoma—a brutal form of bone cancer that primarily strikes children, teens, and young adults.
Too often, the early signs of osteosarcoma (like persistent bone pain, swelling, or a lump) are dismissed as "growing pains" or sports injuries. Because it’s considered rare, funding for research is drastically low, and treatment protocols haven't changed enough in decades. Our kids deserve better.
Please SHARE this post. Help us spread awareness so other families know what to look for, and help us fight for better funding, better treatments, and a cure.
