Will Roberts has completed his MRI, and his family says they are now doing the hardest part of all—waiting.
In a brief update shared after the scan, Will’s loved ones described the moment that followed in a way that instantly felt familiar to everyone who has watched his journey: even in the middle of medical uncertainty, Will found a way to stay… Will.
As they walked back from the MRI, he pulled out his phone and started showing his nurse photos of his trophy deer—proudly flipping through the pictures like it was the most important thing in the world. In a hospital environment that can feel heavy and tense, that simple moment brought a little light.
It’s a reminder of what families often say about Will: he carries a steady, determined spirit that doesn’t always match the seriousness of what he’s facing—but in the best way. While scans and results can bring fear, Will keeps holding onto normal life wherever he can find it, even if that “normal” is talking hunting stories in the hallway.
Now, the family says, they will “patiently await results.”
Anyone who has been through medical testing knows that the scan itself can feel like only half the battle. The waiting afterward—the stretch of hours or days where your mind fills in every possible outcome—can be even harder. Families try to stay calm, keep routines, and hold onto hope while they wait for doctors to read images and provide the next step.
For now, the update doesn’t include details about what the MRI was checking, only that it has been completed and the family is bracing for results. Supporters have been responding with prayers, encouragement, and messages of love—reminding the family they are not alone during the wait.
In moments like this, it’s often the smallest scenes that stay with people: a nurse smiling at a teenager proudly showing off deer photos, a hallway walk that feels ordinary for a second, the quiet strength of a family choosing patience when what they really want is certainty.
As they await results, the request from loved ones is simple: please keep Will in your prayers.
