Hudson’s journey with cerebral palsy began at just 3 months old when he was diagnosed with polymicrogyria. His parents, determined to give him the best care possible, sought out specialized treatment. Their quest led them to Nemours Children’s Hospital, Florida where they found not just medical expertise, but a supportive community dedicated to Hudson’s well-being.
Before Nemours Children’s, Hudson had already undergone care at various children’s hospitals in North Carolina and Colorado. However, it was when they were referred to Nemours that Hudson’s family found a comprehensive approach to his care, encompassing not just medical treatment but also emotional support and encouragement.
“We love Nemours,” Hudson’s mom shares. “Every encounter we have with doctors, nurses, and other clinical staff has been exceptional. Dr. Malone is just outstanding! He is approachable, caring and kind. I felt that he is fully committed to benefit the kids he serves. He is also an outstanding surgeon. I have much respect for him, he is such an awesome person.” This sentiment echoes throughout their journey with Nemours, highlighting the dedication and compassion of the entire care team.
Feeling 100% supported, Hudson’s family is optimistic about his continued care. They are actively working towards Hudson achieving optimal results and are focused on helping him reach his goals. Their outlook is one of determination and positivity, a testament to their unwavering commitment to Hudson’s well-being.
To others facing similar challenges, Hudson’s mom offers simple yet powerful advice: “Stay focused and encouraged. Work hard and think positive.” It’s a reminder that while the road may be tough, with determination and the right support system, progress is possible.
As March marks Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month, Hudson’s story serves as an inspiration to families navigating similar journeys.
