Information from the Hough Family GoFundMe page
On Sunday March 10th Oliver was urgently air lifted from Kelowna to BC Children's Hospital in Vancouver. His official diagnosis is B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Oliver is to remain at BCCH for the first month of his intensive chemotherapy treatment for 24/7 supervision and care. Oliver's underlying Down Syndrome diagnosis puts him at high risk for other complications. Currently his kidneys aren't functioning well, his oxygen levels are desaturated, he's had excess fluid in his lungs, and is also fighting a bacterial infection in his blood, and Tumor Lysis Syndrome.
Once Oliver can safely be released from BCCH, he will stay at the Ronald McDonald House in Vancouver for the duration of his 8 month (ish) treatment. Total length of time estimated for Oliver's treatment is 2.5 years.
Oliver is an incredible young man. Like all 15 year old's, he enjoys socializing and spending time with his friends. Oliver is part of the Special Olympics Kelowna softball team and he and his family have been active with Motion Ball Kelowna for the past 10 years. Their fundraising efforts and community inclusion/spirit are commendable.
