The last few weeks have felt like surviving moment to moment. Grief changes shape every day. Some days it is loud and crushing. Other days it sits quietly in the empty spaces where Dalton’s laughter, footsteps, and little voice should still be.

We are still pushing for access to records, imaging, and the truth surrounding everything that happened to our son. This journey has opened our eyes to the reality so many families face when trying to advocate for their children inside the healthcare system.

In Dalton’s name, we are continuing to raise awareness for stronger parental rights in medical decision-making, the right to seek second opinions, and the right for families to have a voice in the care of their children. No parent should feel powerless when fighting for their child’s life. No parent should not have a voice for their child. 

To everyone who has supported us, prayed for us, shared Dalton’s story, donated, or simply checked in on our family — thank you. Your kindness has carried us through some of the darkest days imaginable.

Right now, all support continues to go toward legal and advocacy efforts, obtaining records, and pushing for change so that no other family has to endure what we have.

Please continue sharing Dalton’s story. Please continue saying his name.

He mattered. He still matters. And we will not stop fighting for him.
