Taylor Swift visits Children’s Mercy in Kansas City

FOR THE FREE DOWNLOAD. A DREAM COMES TRUE FOR A YOUNG CANCER PATIENT AT CHILDREN’S MERCY HOSPITAL JUST DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS. THE 11 YEAR OLD BOY GOT THE SURPRISE OF A LIFETIME FROM TAYLOR SWIFT. KMBC NINE S BRYA BERRY IS HERE TONIGHT WITH HIS REACTION TO A STORY THAT’S GOING VIRAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA. BRYA LARA KRIS IS STILL AT A LOSS OF WORDS TONIGHT. HE HAS SPENT THE PAST FEW MONTHS AGGRESSIVELY FIGHTING HIS ILLNESS. BUT TONIGHT, HE SAYS TAYLOR SWIFT’S VISIT GAVE HIM TEMPORARY HEALING. THIS SELFLESS, BIG BROTHER, LOVING ON HIS BABY SISTER, WHO HE CALLS HIS EMOTIONAL SUPPORT BABY. SHE’S NOT TALKATIVE RIGHT NOW. WELL I AM. THIS IS SUCH AN AWESOME KID THAT HE’S JUST ALWAYS THINKING OF OTHERS. JASON IS THE SECOND OLDEST OF FIVE, SO HE KNOWS A THING OR TWO ABOUT STANDING TALL IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY. WE THINK THAT GOD CHOSE JACE BECAUSE JACE IS SO STRONG, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. JUST BEFORE HIS 11TH BIRTHDAY THIS YEAR, JACE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH EWING’S SARCOMA. IT’S A TYPE OF CANCER THAT BEGINS AS A GROWTH OF CELLS IN THE BONES AND THE SOFT TISSUE AROUND THE BONES. JACE IS ACTUALLY VERY UNIQUE BECAUSE HE HAD IT IN HIS KIDNEY, WHICH ISN’T VERY HEARD OF. SO JACE ACTUALLY HAD A HEAD SIZED TUMOR REMOVED FROM HIS BELLY, AND SOMETIMES HIS CHEMO TREATMENT MAKES HIM SICK AND NOT AS JOVIAL. HIS CHEMO HAD HIM FEELING VERY SICK AND HE SLEPT MOST OF THE NIGHT. BUT JACE GOT QUITE THE BURST OF ENERGY WHEN A MEGA SUPERSTAR KNOCKED ON HIS DOOR THURSDAY AT CHILDREN’S MERCY HOSPITAL. WHEN YOU SAW HER FACE, HOW DID YOU FEEL? WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION? I WAS FLABBERGASTED. JACE WAS STUNNED AND HIS MOM, BROOKLYNN, WAS LEFT SPEECHLESS TOO. BEFORE SHE WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR, I THINK WE WERE JUST WAITING FOR HER TO COME BECAUSE ONE OF THE WACKER HOSPITAL WORKERS SAID A CELEBRITY’S COMING, AND THEN THEY TOLD US IT WAS TAYLOR SWIFT. TAYLOR SWIFT HERSELF, SHAKING JASON’S HAND AND LYING NEXT TO HIM, AND JACE SAYS TAYLOR’S WARMTH AND HUGS GAVE HIM AN EARLY CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM SANTA. IT WAS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE OF BEING HERE. IT WAS AWESOME AND IT REALLY MADE HIS HOSPITAL STAY A LOT. I THINK BETTER THIS TIME. OH MY GOSH, NO. JACE SAYS HE IMMEDIATELY CALLED HIS FRIEND RYDER TO TELL HIM THAT TAYLOR WAS SO DOWN TO EARTH, AND HE WISHES HER A MERRY CHRISTMAS. LOVE THAT STORY. OH MY GOSH. YEAH. HEARTFELT, TOUCHING. VERY TOUCHING. THANK YOU. BRYA. ALL RIGHT. THIS STORY WENT VIRAL WHEN HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE STARTED SHARING PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF TAYLOR SWIFT AT CHILDREN’S MERCY. YOU WILL FIND MORE COVERAGE RIGH
