Presenting to the hospital with high temperatures, distended stomach, and loss of appetite, Hudson's parents, Alyssa and Matthew, were unsure of what they were about to face. 

After numerous blood tests, x-rays as well as ultrasounds, doctor's were quick to come to a heart-breaking conclusion.

Hudson had acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (t-cell). 

With a 9-month expected stay at the house, Alyssa says "This was our saving grace. We couldn't afford to stay in a motel or rent out a new place. The support we have received is second to none." 

Hudson continues to smash through his treatment with the biggest smile and with strong hopes of moving out to the farm and participating in his favourite activites.
