Randy is 21. He was (still is) in the Army when we found out he had DIPG. He was 20 when we found out. He started having double vision in March of 2023 while in South Korea. The army sent him to the eye doctor and they told him he had a stigmatism. Fast forward to May right before Mother’s Day, he came home. I noticed him walking with a limp. He had to wait to be seen at where he would be stationed. He is stationed in Kentucky. The army sent him to physical therapy for his limp. Then an ENT doctor for the swelling in his face. Finally, they sent him to an eye doctor late August. The eye doctor had him go get an MRI then on August 26 we were told that he had a brain tumor and it  was DIPG. There is a lot more to this story...

My son always has been a caring person for those that are younger than him. He prays hard for all the children fighting DIPG.
