Right now, little Raedyn is giving everything he has in a battle no child should ever face. His sedation has finally been fully lifted, his pain is being controlled, and for the first time in a long time, Pedialyte is replacing IV fluids — a tiny but powerful sign of progress.
But the road ahead is still long. His blood sugars continue to drop, his eyes are painfully swollen, and his foot remains hard and inflamed after an IV went wrong. Every movement hurts. Every breath is a reminder of the fight he’s still in.
Today, Raedyn tried to eat — a moment of hope — but after just a few bites, he signed “all done.” His body, still recovering from major brain surgery, simply couldn’t keep going. Exhaustion is his biggest enemy now.
Doctors are already preparing for the next chapter: rehab, before he can even think about going home. His family knows the journey is far from over… but right now, all they want is healing. Strength. A little more peace for their boy.
These next few days will be absolutely critical. Every number, every reaction, every hour matters. His loved ones are staying close, holding on to faith, refusing to let fear win. They are praying not for miracles alone — but for tomorrow to be kinder, for progress to continue, one breath at a time.
Through all the pain and uncertainty, one truth stands strong: Raedyn hasn’t given up. And neither will those who love him.
✨ If you’re reading this, please take a moment to lift him up — in prayer, in thought, in hope. Every bit of love helps.
