Jaisson Mailloux's Page

My son Tyson Mailloux was diagnosed with High Risk B-precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on June 28th, 2010. Tyson is the oldest of my children (Jordon – brother, Kaytlon – sister) and he also has an older step-brother (Dillon). He is a vibrant young man who excels at everything he attempts so beating cancer will just be another accomplishment for him. For the last 3 years he has been accepted into the Gifted and Talented program in the Fort Mill South Carolina, Saginaw Texas and most recently Keller Texas school districts. He was also 1 of 5 fifth graders going into 6th that were accepted into the band to play percussions at Chisholm Trail. He has played Soccer, Basketball, Football and his favorite Baseball! He is looking forward to playing contact sports next year in 7th grade!

While the Leukemia did side track the sports for now, his school is allowing him to participate as much as possible in the Gifted Program even though he is homebound. We have a teacher that visits us for 4 hours a week and is provided by Keller ISD. His regular teachers keep in touch with us through email and we will soon be video conferencing in with his classes. Last week some of the students made Tyson some get well cards and next week Child Life Services from Cook Children’s will visit his, Kaytlon and Jordon’s school to talk about Leukemia.
Tyson’s hobbies are vast but include watching the Texas Rangers, Orange County Choppers, and COPS. He also still loves to play with his Army Men and he cannot get enough time playing World of Warcraft on the computer.

He currently sports a b*** Mohawk!
