The post continued, “I drop to my knees every day thanking God that my baby is still here and he is going to be ok because it could have been [worse],” West writes in the January 3, 2025 post.

Referring to her son as a “warrior,” West celebrated the positivity that the community’s kindness has brought to their lives: “Every donation, gift, encouraging word, and prayer has put a smile on my son’s face!” she added.

Days later, she shared another social media post, explaining that her young boy was at home and recovering well.

“My son is recovering beautifully since surgery! He may be able to go back to school next week after his second follow up appointment Tuesday! Occasionally, he does have some challenging moments but overall, he’s in good spirits,” she writes. “When we first got home from the hospital, he had to stay elevated and sleep in a recliner but now he’s able to sleep normal in his own bed…I don’t only cry because of sadness and madness but also because of joy that my baby boy is going to be just fine!”
