Description

When Levi was only two years old, a brain tumor was discovered. His parents brought him into the hospital for testing after he was inexplicably sick for several weeks. In this episode, mom Kara shares what it was like to get that life-shattering news and to send her toddler off into intensive surgery to remove the mass.
Although the surgery was life-saving, it had its own major repercussions for Levi and his body’s functionality. Even now ten years post-op, Levi requires medications and interventions to keep him alive and well.
