Before his diagnosis, he was an active, happy-go-lucky young man. After 105 days at Methodist Hospital | Stone Oak, battling through a rigorous chemotherapy treatment plan and countless surgeries, Jeremiah was ready to be discharged to a rehabilitation facility for continued care. His nursing team, with whom he had built strong relationships over the course of his stay, had a surprise in store for him. On the day of his discharge, Jeremiah received a surprise visit from the San Antonio Spurs Coyote, who not only carried in numerous drawstring bags of swag, bobbleheads, t-shirts and blankets but one extra special silver and black surprise: a personalized, inspirational video from San Antonio Spurs point guard Tre Jones, encouraging him to continue fighting. This act of kindness helped spark positivity and a fighting momentum in Jeremiah as he took the next step in his recovery.
