AVM Warrior

Jackson’s AVM journey started 9/2/16 when he was 12 years old. He sustained a devastating hemorrhage in his cerebellum, the lowest portion of the brain towards the back of the skull. After the brain bleed, he had to learn to walk, talk and eat all over again. His AVM was removed with several surgeries, but years later has grown back.

Jackson is now undergoing treatment with gamma knife radiation. This is marathon not a sprint. Currently, jackson is being referred to a neurologist for his headaches. Jackson’s famiy is so proud of him and his resillance has taught them a lot about thriving through adversity.
