Hi everyone, its Mary Ann Moses thought that it would be easier to post an update on Eric Moses here than individually.
For those who dont know, approximately 2 weeks ago Eric was diagnosed with larynx carcinoma and needed to have an emergency tracheostomy put in yesterday. Once that heals he will have to undergo aggressive radiation and chemo to try and save his voice box and ultimately his life.
He came threw surgery ok and will be undergoing a bunch of therapy to learn how to talk/eat with the trach as well as wait on the official biopsy results so we can make a plan moving forward since the cancer has wrapped itself around his left vocal cord.
I would like to note that his chief complaint was pain in the inner ear. We were totally shocked with the diagnosis. It has rocked this family and it still does not feel real.
Let this be a cautionary tale to not ignore your body and to always advocate for your own health as his primary chalked it up to a simple ear infection.
It was a random PA that finally ordered the proper scans and made the referral for ENT.
Now for the ask.
Ive spent years watching my husband putting his all into this farm. Literally hours watching honey drip, super late nights hatching birds, giving up many holidays to meet customers and taking on dozens of sick or dying animals that people surrendered to us... he did it all, no judgments and at the end of the day at great cost to him and he asked for nothing in return.
After what he has done I ask that you please support him as he begins what will be the hardest battle of his life by leaving him some words of encouragement. He needs all the support he can get.
I thank those who have been there so far for him, Breanna Obrien and Laura Bulger especially. We appreciate you guys more than a stupid post could express. Love you both and just know that I see you!!!
In the meantime I will keep everyone posted as we learn more. Keep in mind that as a farm we are closed and wont be open in the foreseeable future. Something that is breaking erics heart but totally necessary.
Sorry for the scattered post. My heads a mess but I wanted to keep everyone in the loop. Thank you yo those who take the time to read and comment. Eric can see this and will respond as he feels upto it.
