Madeline is such a beautiful little soul. She is charismatic, expressive, sassy, and feisty. She loves dressing up in princess costumes and high heels, but she also loves dinosaurs and Halloween things. She loves to sing and dance. She adores her older brother and wants to do whatever he does. She loves animals, especially dogs and “neighs” (horses). Her smile and love for people melt your heart. Even with cancer, she is a happy little thing with so much love to give.
Madeline was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on October 14th, 2021. Prior to her diagnosis, she had recurrent, unexplained fevers.
Madeline has had several lumbar punctures, now with this new phase of treatment, she will only have them every 12 weeks. She also receives her chemo through her port. Thankfully and by the grace of God, Madeline has taken treatment very well so far. We are also blessed with family and friends who make meals for us during treatment times to help us out.
Cancer has absolutely changed our lives. We don’t take Madeline to crowded events, family birthdays, etc due to exposure to too many germs. Our other child is 8, so my husband and I take turns taking him to different events and activities. We still do outdoor things together. Our family loves being outside.
