Mikayla |

Samantha |

Mikayla was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia 2 weeks after her 4th birthday. She had been battling strep throat off and on for 3 months. We took her to the doctor thinking we were dealing with another round of strep. This time something was different. She had these little spots all over her tummy and the doctor thought maybe we should do some testing of her blood. We were afraid they were going to suggest taking her tonsils out, it was quite alarming to find out they suspected her to have leukemia.
Mikayla fought her cancer for a little over 2 years. We are glad to report that she finished treatment in June of 2009. Let's keep her in our prayers. |
