Transcript

SPEAKER_03 0:00

They ran a few tests and then they found out that I had a very rare liver cancer that only one to three kids get per year. So it's basically a lightning strike. Very rare. It was growing extremely fast and it was like a bomb. We couldn't just take a piece out. We had to take the whole liver out. Right as they were loading it onto the plane, my perfect match just came in. And so if the plane had took off, you can't call dibs on two livers.

SPEAKER_02 0:36

What do you think that is? It was a miracle.

SPEAKER_03 0:39

Somebody wasn't getting out of bed, and then whenever they saw my video, they started walking. That's what makes life life. If it was all ups, then it wouldn't be fun. All downs be even less fun. So ups and downs really connect the puzzle pieces.

SPEAKER_00 1:26

Oh, gotcha.

SPEAKER_03 1:27

So I gotta get them a little worried, but not too much.

SPEAKER_02 1:32

Fix. Fix? That's hilarious. You know what though? You know my little girl, which she's not that little, right? She's 15. And her name is Kana. And when I went to tell the people in the hospital that I was naming her Kana, do you know what they wanted to write down on the birth certificate?

SPEAKER_00 3:02

What?

SPEAKER_02 3:02

Cans. Could you imagine Kana if her name was Cans? That terrible. So we could have Fix and Cans. That would be fantastic. So you say Fitz for Fitzgerald, but your real name is what?

unknown 3:33

In between.

SPEAKER_02 3:33

In between. There's some things that you love, like some of the people.

SPEAKER_03 3:36

Yeah, a lot of the people.

SPEAKER_03 3:52

You're my best friend.

SPEAKER_02 3:54

Aw. Your mom is, yes. Our families are best friends, aren't they? They're best friend friend families. And this past November, you guys were at Disney World and you were pretty sick, and I went out with your mom. Um, and the next day after we went out, basically, she took you to the doctor to the hospital. And what happened, Fitz? Um, where happened to your life?

SPEAKER_03 4:18

We went to the Woodlands, Texas Children's, and um we were in the ER and one of the guys, um miss um he didn't guess right on what my diagnosis was. Yeah. He was saying pancreatitis.

SPEAKER_00 4:46

Yeah, he was. Um I can't believe you remember that.

SPEAKER_03 4:50

And then we and then they said, okay, Fitz, we're gonna book you an appointment at the Med Center at Texas Children's Downtown. Yeah. And so um, whenever we went there, um they ran a few tests and then they found out that I had a very rare liver cancer that only one to three kids get per year.

SPEAKER_02 5:20

In America or in the world? Do you know? Um I don't know. Okay, I don't know either. Does it really matter? No, not really, it's rare. It doesn't matter. So you had um, they found you were you were sick, you were like throwing up all the time.

SPEAKER_03 5:37

Um at Disney World, we were at a like buffet. Um I can't I'm I usually eat a lot, so you do eat a lot.

SPEAKER_02 5:47

Because y'all come over to our house on Fridays, and what do we order? What do we get every Friday? Pizza. We eat pizza together. Yeah, and you eat a lot.

SPEAKER_03 5:54

So whenever I went there, I got a few pancakes, some sausage, and some orange juice. Yeah. Drank half of the orange juice, ate a bite of the sausage, threw up three times.

SPEAKER_02 6:08

And that was it, man.

SPEAKER_03 6:09

And then the characters were coming. My dad was like, oh, what do I do? My mom was like, do something. Stop throwing up. Until he put a napkin over the plate and then just left it there. And then my mom was like, You can't just do that. The waiter's gonna pick it up and then she's gonna spill it. So he picked it up and he put it on the plate where all the plates switched out.

SPEAKER_02 6:38

He did not. Your dad did that, that's hilarious.

SPEAKER_03 6:41

And then we left.

SPEAKER_02 6:42

And then you did you get any pictures with the characters? Yeah, we got you got a few, you got a few. And here's what's something interesting. My husband's name is what? You know? Nathan. And your dad's name is Nathan. I mean, it's just we're supposed to be friends. It just we just lean into it. So, okay, so you're at Disney, you're sick, and this is November of 2025.

SPEAKER_03 7:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:05

And you go into the ER and they start saying all this stuff, and then they send you down to Texas Children's Downtown. Because we live in Houston, we have a few Texas children's.

SPEAKER_03 7:14

Yeah, Woodlands, downtown, West Campus, which is like Katie.

SPEAKER_02 7:20

And um, and so this is still November, right? This is still November, and then they diagnose you with this rare this rare liver cancer that only one to three kids get a year.

SPEAKER_03 7:29

Yeah, so my cells basically copied the wrong thing, and so it's basically a lightning strike. Very rare.

SPEAKER_02 7:38

Very rare. And you had a tumor inside of you, and that's what was making you sick at Disney.

SPEAKER_03 7:42

Yeah, it was growing extremely fast, and it was like a bomb. We couldn't just take a piece out, we had to take the whole liver out.

SPEAKER_02 7:51

You had to take the whole liver out, so you had to have a whole liver transplant.

SPEAKER_03 7:55

Yeah, and then I think before we went to Disney, we were on our way to school. We usually get donuts a lot right before school.

SPEAKER_00 8:04

As you should.

SPEAKER_03 8:05

And whenever my dad was taking me, um, we were about to get there, so I was like eating fast.

SPEAKER_00 8:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:12

And then one of the teachers opened the door and they were like, Hi, come on, Fitz, it's time for school.

SPEAKER_02 8:19

And then I was just like, wait, wait, wait, so it started even before Disney.

SPEAKER_03 8:26

You were not feeling good. And then we had a park, and usually at my school, throw up once on campus, um, send me home, and my dad was just like, you'll be fine, fit.

SPEAKER_01 8:39

It was just suck it up, buttercup, let's go.

SPEAKER_03 8:42

And then I went to go get breakfast, and then I was going to my class, and then I threw up two more times, and then um I tried to call my dad, and then he was like, you'll be fine, Fitz. And then I had to spend the whole day at just like a dad, huh?

SPEAKER_02 9:04

Just like you'll be fine, and you had to spend the whole day at school sick.

SPEAKER_03 9:07

And then later that day at lunch.

SPEAKER_02 9:10

Oh, jeez.

SPEAKER_03 9:11

I wait, no, I think a few days after that, at lunch, I was eating um some corn dogs.

SPEAKER_01 9:20

Oh, that's no.

SPEAKER_03 9:21

And then I was like, Oh no.

SPEAKER_01 9:24

Oh no.

SPEAKER_03 9:24

I ate too fast. And then I um at the time I was like, I always throw up a lot. And my school has like white milk, strawberry milk, chocolate milk. And I was like, I wish they had rainbow milk. And so I got the closest thing to that, which was strawberry milk. So I ran to the bathroom, I threw up pink and brown because of the corn ducks.

SPEAKER_02 9:53

And you knew you were sick. So something was going on, and you probably just thought you had like a tummy bug.

SPEAKER_03 9:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:59

Yeah. Because that's what kids get. And then they get tummy bugs all the time.

SPEAKER_03 10:04

And then whenever I went fishing with my friend, yeah. A couple weeks later, I already told you that I'm a big eater. So before we went fishing, we went to McDonald's. My friend's mom got like this whole big thing. Yes. Milk.

SPEAKER_02 10:27

That's awesome.

SPEAKER_03 10:28

And then so, um, if I didn't have the tumor, I would have ate it all.

SPEAKER_02 10:34

You could have eaten all of that.

SPEAKER_03 10:36

Yeah, but um whenever we were done with McDonald's, I have had only touched a few fries and like three chicken nuggets.

SPEAKER_02 10:47

So something was up. And then And your tummy was also poofy.

SPEAKER_03 10:52

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 10:53

Your tummy was like distended. It was sticking out, yeah. Which we didn't know at the time was the tumor.

SPEAKER_03 10:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:59

And it was growing fast because it went something from like six inches to like the size of an NFL football in like a week.

SPEAKER_03 11:05

And I was I was 92 pounds, and then in like a week or two, I had dropped to 68.

SPEAKER_02 11:15

You did not. Whoa.

SPEAKER_03 11:18

And then whenever we went fishing with my friend, yeah, um I was barely fishing, barely playing with them. Yeah. And then they brought a lot of snacks, barely ate. And then at the end, my friend's mom touched my stomach and she was like, whoa, fist, that's hard. And then she told my mom to go to the hospital.

SPEAKER_00 11:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 11:49

And um at Disney World, my dad felt my stomach, and he was like, Fitz, are you growing abs like this? It's as hard as a rock.

SPEAKER_02 12:03

Wasn't abs, was it? Nope, dad thinks that's called my tumor. We have a lot of dark humor with your cancer, don't we? Yeah, we make a lot of jokes, but why what do you think about that? How do you feel about how we all kind of joke around with the cancer thing? Do you like it? Do you not like it? Does it help? Does it not help? What do you really feel about that?

SPEAKER_03 12:24

It's fun.

SPEAKER_02 12:25

It makes it fun.

unknown 12:27

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 12:27

I feel like it's like, well, you've got it anyway, right?

SPEAKER_03 12:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:32

Might as well laugh. What is the other alternative? If you're not laughing, what are you gonna be doing? Crying? Yeah, screaming, I don't know. There's plenty of that too, right, Fitz? Yeah. Because it's not all smiles and rainbows having cancer. Yeah. I don't know if you know that.

SPEAKER_03 12:48

And since my tissue and platelets have been low, I've been bruising very easily, tripping very easily, and so that's how I hurt my arm really bad. And I'm it kind of hurts right now.

SPEAKER_02 13:04

It does kind of hurt right now. We just went downstairs before we started this, and we had green donuts. So we have a little bit of a green tint on our mouth, which I think is the best kid thing ever. I mean, you're nine, you should have a green mouth. And we have we took some Tylenol and uh let's cheers, shall we? We have our Jesus and coffee cups. We're drinking. His parents don't know. What are you having?

SPEAKER_03 13:28

Um, Dr. Pepper.

SPEAKER_02 13:31

Are you allowed Dr. Pepper in the morning? But you can with Aunt Live, right? We can do that.

unknown 13:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:40

We're allowed. We're allowed. Okay, so I want to talk about. So thank you for telling your story, you know, kind of bringing everybody up to date as to what is going on with you. Um, real quick to kind of put a little bow on it. You did get a transplant very quickly. So you were diagnosed late November, right?

unknown 13:59

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 14:00

And then you got, yeah, uh, go ahead. You talk. You're the star.

SPEAKER_03 14:04

The family um were was going back and forth on whether they should do let me have a transplant. Yeah, donate organs. All day. They were like, yes or no, yes or no. And so they f at the end of the day, they said yes, and so right as they were load loading the liver onto the plane plane, it had um like um a disease on it that was.

SPEAKER_02 14:37

It wasn't the healthiest disease. I mean, it wasn't the healthiest liver. Yeah, but they found a liver for you.

SPEAKER_03 14:43

But I was gonna run out of time, so they expanded the reach.

SPEAKER_02 14:48

Right. So when we were looking for a liver for you, basically you had this bomb inside of you, this this tumor on your liver, and they were like, This kid has got to get this thing out, or goodbye fits, right? Yeah, right. So we were looking for a liver, and and at some point they said, Look, we'll take any liver. They were like, right? They were like, we gotta just get a liver in this kid. And they found one that wasn't quite super healthy.

SPEAKER_03 15:11

They were going to bring it to you, and then and so right as they were loading it onto the plane, my perfect match um just came in. And so if the plane had took off, you can't call dibs on two livers.

SPEAKER_02 15:26

So what do you think that is? What do you think? I mean, I know that you have grown a lot in your faith, right? I mean, you you were already a faithful kid. You had your own like relationship with Jesus, and he means a lot to you.

SPEAKER_03 15:42

It was a miracle.

SPEAKER_02 15:44

It was a miracle. Yeah, do you see God taking care of you in these moments, even through this horrible cancer situation? Do you still feel like he's close to you, or do you feel like God let you go? He's close to me. He's close to you? I see your your face smiling. What do you do to stay close to God during this really crazy time? I mean, this is crazy. You're only nine years old, right? And you're already having a liver transplant and chemotherapy and all sorts of stuff. Losing your hair. That's a lot to go through as a kid. And when we're filming this, which I don't like saying when we film because we want it to stay timeless, but this is just, let's see. Um, we're only what, two, three months out of your out of your transplant?

SPEAKER_03 16:30

Two months out.

SPEAKER_02 16:32

Two months out.

SPEAKER_03 16:32

We're a couple of weeks out, and then I'm already walking um 1.5 miles a day.

SPEAKER_02 16:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 16:42

Running.

SPEAKER_02 16:43

Yeah. You're crushing. Do you think that's a miracle?

SPEAKER_03 16:47

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 16:47

You do? So you think that's another way that God connects with you? How do you connect with God? Do you talk to him every day? Yes, I pray to him. You do? You pray to him? Like, what do you normally what does that mean? Like, do you just talk to him like a bro or like do you talk to him like, hello, God? You know, like very you do both. So he can you can talk to him like a friend and you talk to him with a lot of res, you know, like respect. Yeah, he's God, right?

SPEAKER_03 17:14

And because some um post-transplant patients can't even get out of bed whenever they're sent home. Really? And I'm walking miles a day.

SPEAKER_02 17:27

Why do you think that is? Do you feel chosen at all for this journey? No? You think it's just random? But what about your attitude? Because you have a pretty different attitude. Where is that coming from, my friend?

SPEAKER_03 17:42

Um, some people, if they were in my position, some people would be really scared, and so I just want to show them that it's not bad and it's not scary.

SPEAKER_02 17:56

It's not scary. So you started this whole thing called positive pickle.

unknown 18:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:01

Which looking back at it, do you wish you would have started something else like positive penguin or positive porcupine? Because now do you get a lot of pickles from people?

SPEAKER_03 18:13

Like at home, I have a really big um pickle squishmallow. And it's huge.

SPEAKER_02 18:22

Because you have a you have a P.O. box. People can send you letters and gifts and stuff because you decided you get this transplant and you kind of started, we're talking about well, I guess you kind of started your video journey kind of from the beginning that you got diagnosed with cancer. You kind of went straight to videos.

SPEAKER_03 18:40

As soon as I found out, I started making videos.

SPEAKER_02 18:44

You started making videos. And when did people catch on? Was it pretty quickly or did it take a while for you to go viral?

SPEAKER_03 18:50

Very quickly.

SPEAKER_02 18:51

Very quickly? Man, are you serious?

SPEAKER_03 18:55

Kind of both. Yeah. It took like a day or two.

SPEAKER_02 18:59

Well, that's pretty quick.

SPEAKER_03 19:00

Yeah. And then I started um making more.

SPEAKER_02 19:04

Making more. And why did you decide to make these videos? What is it about? What is the purpose? Um besides telling people not to be scared. I mean, there's a lot of people watching that don't have cancer, so what do they get from it?

SPEAKER_03 19:16

Um, I tell them how they can make their day brighter. Um I my goal is to spread a lot of positiveness.

SPEAKER_02 19:30

Yeah. And bring sunshine to other people no matter what's going on in their day.

SPEAKER_03 19:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 19:37

Before you had cancer, were you this positive?

unknown 19:40

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 19:41

This is just who you are.

unknown 19:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 19:43

So the cancer hasn't taken away our fits.

unknown 19:46

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 19:46

It can go take a hike. We're not letting them, we're not letting cancer win and take you out of it. So you were always this positive kid. You were close to God. I mean, I remember when you were little and you would ask your parents to take you to church, right? Do you remember those like doing that?

unknown 20:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:05

Yeah. And now you have this platform and you've decided to do something about it and to put out positivity. So tell me, how did the positive pickle start? Where did that even come from?

SPEAKER_03 20:18

Um one of my teachers from my daycare um got me this positive um pickle jar. And so I thought I'd um make videos and um tell them what the positive pickle of the day was and spread, and I knew that would help me reach my goal faster and spread more positiveness.

SPEAKER_02 20:46

I love that. I love that that's what you're trying to do. What is one of the best stories that you've gotten from one of your viewers? Have you gotten to read a lot of letters or get a lot of stories back from people? What are some of the really good stories that that you'd like to share of people that have come across your videos?

SPEAKER_03 21:08

Um, there was this guy who has um he was a cancer survivor for I think 20 years maybe. And he sent me this long letter and it was very sweet. And I also got this comment or letter saying um somebody wasn't getting out of bed, and then whenever they saw my video on how I was walking um 1.5 miles a day and reaching my goal for the day, they started walking.

SPEAKER_02 21:49

No. No way. I didn't know that story. That's so cool. How's that make you feel?

SPEAKER_03 21:56

Um very proud.

SPEAKER_02 21:58

You should be very proud. Absolutely. You have this opportunity and you're using it, you're changing lives, and you're just a kid. What are you gonna do when you're a grown-up? Are you gonna do you wanna keep changing lives? Is this something that you want to continue to do?

unknown 22:13

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 22:14

How do you want to continue? What do you want to do as you get older? And how are you gonna how are you gonna keep this up fits? Um what's your plan?

SPEAKER_03 22:23

I can keep giving them updates. Yeah. Um, and keep doing positive pickles. And then um, if I run out of positive pickles, I always have um at my house positive tacos, positive potatoes.

SPEAKER_01 22:43

Wait, I love it. You got a whole food system.

SPEAKER_03 22:46

Yep. And I just want to always spread um positivity, and so I'll give them updates about me and and how I'm doing a year out, yeah, five years out, ten years.

You feeling good? You still feeling positive. And here's the other thing I wanna I want to talk about real quick before we wrap up. I want to ask you this. Is it okay to not be positive every day? Is it okay to not be okay?

SPEAKER_03 24:43

Sometimes.

SPEAKER_02 24:44

Sometimes. Are you ever not okay?

unknown 24:47

Sometimes.

SPEAKER_02 24:48

Yeah, and that's alright, right? I mean, life is up and down, isn't it?

SPEAKER_03 24:54

That's what makes life life.

SPEAKER_02 24:56

That's what makes life life.

SPEAKER_03 24:57

If it was all ups, then it wouldn't be fun. All downs be even less fun. Right. So ups and downs really um connect the puzzle pieces.

SPEAKER_02 25:11

I love that. I love that. Yeah, because I want the kids out there, anybody who's listening who's sick today, whether it's cancer or not cancer, or if they're just having a bad day, or you know, they're listening and it's a Monday, and it's just the most Monday Monday ever, you know, or whatever it is. I want them to know it's okay. It's okay to have a bad day. It's okay to be down. But what's important is you can always um turn your day up. You can always turn your day up. You can always go and get positive.

SPEAKER_03 25:42

And instead of thinking about the bad things, think about what you can do.

SPEAKER_02 25:47

And what are some things that you can do? What are some things people can do? What are some tangible things that they can go home and do right now? Do you have any tips?

SPEAKER_03 25:55

Um They can sit outside with a coat on because it's very chilly out here.

SPEAKER_00 26:04

It is.

SPEAKER_03 26:04

Um and look around and enjoy nature, take walks, um, listen to their favorite music, um, meditate.

SPEAKER_02 26:17

I love that. And pray.

SPEAKER_03 26:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:20

Absolutely, right? It makes you feel better. So before we leave, I want to ask you something. This is what I ask all my guests. I ask, how can we pray for you? So there's a lot of people out there listening, and I know you've got a ton of people that love you, and that's gotta feel good. That you've got this whole support system, right? Of strangers.

SPEAKER_03 26:40

It really helps me get through.

SPEAKER_02 26:42

Oh, I'm sure it does. Yeah, and they adore you, Fitz. I mean, they just love you to pieces.

SPEAKER_03 26:48

No, knowing that I'm helping people helps me get through.

SPEAKER_02 26:52

Yeah, for sure. 100%. You are such a great example of that, and thank you for that. So, how can we support you? How can we pray for you? What's something we can pray for right now that you're going through or that you need?

SPEAKER_03 27:06

Pray for that my arm feels better and that my platelets get up, and hopefully, that my body doesn't notice that this is not my liver.

SPEAKER_02 27:22

Ah, yes, let's trick the body and make it absorb and say, I love this liver. Make your body love the liver. Yeah. That should be your new thing. Love the liver. Uh, I love hanging out with you. You're so awesome. Will you have another another swig of Dr. Pepper with me before your mom finds out? It'll be fine. I promise, you won't get in trouble. I got this. I love you to pieces. Thank you so much for being here. We're praying for you. Well. Isn't he awesome?
