A 5-year-old boy from Montana was diagnosed with brain cancer.
Lucky for him he got to ride a “unicorn” before going for his treatment.
Zach Haas, said his son, Wyatt Haas, was feeling sick and having headaches before he was diagnosed with medulloblastoma.
Medulloblastoma is a rare brain cancer which is found in the cerebellum, the lower back part of the brain. This cancer can easily spread throughout the brain and spinal cord. Treatment needs surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, Mayo Clinic reports.
After knowing the heartbreaking news, Wyatt underwent an operation to remove a portion of the tumor.
“The last couple months he’s been in so much discomfort,” Haas told GMA. “He hasn’t been laughing, playing… having fun.”
“I think after the surgery he was being himself again,” he added.
Jennifer Nielsen, the mother of one of Wyatt’s classmates, heard Wyatt loves unicorns, so she set up a “unicorn ride” for him.
Nielsen decorated the horse with washable animal chalk to turn the horse into a colorful unicorn and surprised Wyatt at a local park where his classmates and teacher were gathered to say him goodbye.
“I don’t think he expected to see a unicorn at the park,” Haas recalled to GMA. “I think he just expected to see friends. He was super excited.”
“We moved into the most amazing community and we seriously could not be more grateful!” reads a post by his family on a Facebook page documenting Wyatt’s journey. “We’re going to miss home so much. So glad to have these pictures to look back on for Wyatt!”
“We are confident things will go good, and hopefully Wyatt won’t have the neurological issues he had with the last resection as they are just cleaning up what’s left,” the post read. “Keep him in your thoughts and prayers, and we will update after to let everyone know how things went!”
