Hooper Family
On the first day of fourth grade, Will came home screaming in pain due to a headache. His mother immediately took him to T.C. Thompson Children’s Hospital where he was diagnosed with strep. When the antibiotics were not effective in treating the symptoms, the doctors thought it might be connected to the medicines Will was taking for his Asperger Syndrome, an earlier diagnosis. His pediatrician then recommended they get a CT Scan and EEG which was followed up by an MRI and the doctors then confirmed there was a tumor on his pituitary gland.
