Slade Smiley’s young son Grayson is back in the hospital, and Breaking Celebrity News spoke exclusively to his mother Michelle Arroyo about his current medical condition as he continues to battle cancer.

“He is fighting hard,” Michelle said about Grayson, the son of The Real Housewives of Orange County star who was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor in 2005 and has been bravely dealing with his dire medical condition since then.

“Grayson is a good little solider,” his mom told Breaking Celebrity News, while adding he has been in the hospital for the past three days at Sloan Kettering in New York.

Gretchen Rossi’s boyfriend Slade has been locked in a legal battle with Michelle for years over his non-payment of child support for years, claiming that he doesn’t earn enough income to contribute to the mounting medical bills for his 12-year-old son.
