While Hudsyn was born healthy, once he was a few months old, he became increasingly uncoordinated, had weak muscle tone, and suffered migraines. His mom took him to Mary Bridge Children’s, where an MRI exposed syringomyelia, a fluid-filled cyst that grows in the spinal cord and can impact nerves. After the diagnosis, he underwent his first brain surgery, which didn’t alleviate his symptoms very much. About a year later, Hudsyn returned for his second brain surgery. Following this surgery, he relearned how to walk in physical therapy, but his migraines returned. A few months later, at only four years old, he underwent this third and most successful brain surgery. His surgeon guided him through each step of the way, forming an unbreakable bond with Hudsyn. After the third procedure, Hudsyn worked hard at physical therapy to relearn how to walk again. With determination and persistence, he finished physical therapy and was cleared to play sports! Now, he loves throwing balls and running but enjoys playing T-ball most of all. When he’s not playing ball on the field, Hudsyn loves dressing up as a doctor at home!
