The family of a terminally ill Ashland teen says the 18-year-old had to be hospitalized Sunday in Atlanta, forcing him to miss seeing the Super Bowl in person.
Jake Silver’s mom shared the news on Facebook Sunday afternoon.
“Unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be,” Melissa Duca wrote. “[Jake’s] oxygen was at 43 this morning and we couldn’t arouse him.”
The 18-year-old was diagnosed with osteosarcoma three years ago, and he was told in mid-January that he has three to six months to live, according to NBC10 Boston. The teen began putting together a bucket list, which included seeing the Patriots in the Super Bowl and meeting Tom Brady.
