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.

Mom and Bailey

Because Bailey's neutrophil levels are so low, she is more vulnerable to infection.  Any time we leave the hospital room, she has to wear a mask, and the only way she wears a mask is for mom to wear a mask.
Here we are about to go see the fish.
