Leukemia???


Leukemia ! On October 25th, 2010 we received a call from Dr. Smith with the results from Bailey’s blood test taken earlier that day. “We found some abnormalities in Bailey’s blood”, he said. “She has a very high amount of young white blood cells (blasts), and a very low red blood cell count “. There was a long pause, a moment of silence. “What does that mean?” I said. He then said, “Bailey has leukemia”. For a moment, time froze. Our lives were going to forever change. All you can think of is death and the thought of loosing your baby girl. The worst feeling of all is the unknown, not knowing the outcome of this disease.

A blessing from Papa

We had a little scare with Bailey's PICC line she had in her arm.  A blood clot had formed near the site of her PICC line and the doctors wanted the line removed immediately.  Papa, Elder Reynolds, and his companion came to the hospital to give Bailey a blessing.  Shortly after the blessing, a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky outside our window.  The rainbow made me feel at peace that everything would be alright.  A special thank you to Elder Reynolds, who is very special to Bailey, for coming to be a part of the blessing.  We miss seeing you every day!

Bailey sure does love her Papa!
