Fitz’s journey has been anything but ordinary, filled with ups and downs, but today was a day that highlighted his strength and resilience. Despite the obstacles he faces, Fitz continues to amaze those around him with his spirit, sense of humor, and determination. Today, he demonstrated just how strong his will is and reminded everyone that no matter the challenges, it’s the small victories that matter the most.
This morning, Fitz’s lighthearted personality took center stage when he made everyone laugh by joking about removing his own catheter, just as he had once done with his nose drain. It was a moment that reflected the essence of who Fitz is—someone who refuses to let his circumstances define him, and instead, uses humor to lift the spirits of those around him. However, upon realizing what that would actually involve, he quickly reconsidered his plan. It was a small, yet powerful reminder of his ability to find joy and humor even in the most difficult moments.
But it wasn’t all jokes and laughter. Fitz also reached an important milestone today—he was able to take a few bites of food for the first time since his procedure. For Fitz and his family, this felt like a huge win, a sign of progress and healing. Every small step forward is a victory in its own right, and this one felt particularly meaningful.
Beyond his physical progress, Fitz showed his deep commitment to helping others. He signed up to donate blood and data for transplant and cancer research. His decision to contribute to research efforts is a testament to his strength and generosity. Fitz’s case is rare, and his willingness to help advance medical research could have a lasting impact, providing valuable insights that could benefit other children and families facing similar challenges. His decision to give back in this way is a reminder of the kindness and compassion that continues to shine through even in the face of adversity.
However, as with any journey toward recovery, there are setbacks. As the day came to a close, Fitz began to experience difficulties with his breathing. He became more short of breath, and even the simplest tasks, like speaking, became challenging. The team quickly noticed the change and began to investigate. Looking back at a video Fitz had shared the day before, it was clear that he had been more winded than usual, and his breathing had become noticeably labored.
Imaging revealed that fluid had begun to accumulate in his chest, a complication that is not uncommon after a transplant. While it’s something that needs attention, it is manageable, and the medical team has already begun actively addressing it. For now, Fitz is off food while the doctors focus on managing his breathing and helping him feel stronger.
The news of this setback has understandably been frustrating for Fitz. After feeling like he was making real progress, the need for oxygen tonight has been a difficult pill to swallow. He’s feeling a little down, but even in this moment of frustration, Fitz remains focused on getting through this and continuing his recovery. His determination to push forward, even when the road gets tough, is a reflection of the fighter he is.
For his family, this is a reminder that recovery is never a straight path. There will be setbacks, challenges, and moments of doubt, but Fitz’s strength, humor, and determination continue to be a guiding light through it all. Every step forward, no matter how small, is a testament to the progress he’s making and the resilience that defines him.
As the day ends, the focus remains on Fitz’s recovery. The medical team is actively working to address the fluid in his chest and ensure his breathing improves. His family remains hopeful, staying focused on the bigger picture—helping Fitz get stronger and continue his journey toward recovery. Despite the challenges, the hope and determination that Fitz embodies continue to shine through, and everyone is rallying behind him with the same unwavering belief that he can overcome anything.
🚀 Go Fitz Go 🚀
This journey is not easy, but with each victory, no matter how small, Fitz is proving that he is stronger than any setback. His spirit, resilience, and generosity inspire everyone who is following his story.
