Abigail loves all animals real and magical. She loves unicorns and her favorite time of year is Halloween. She absolutely loves it. She loves bug hunting and being outside playing. She used to love to draw. She still does once in awhile still. She likes doing arts and crafts. Horses are one of her favorite animals.
Abigail was diagnosed with cancer on May 3rd of 2018. In the time leading up to the diagnosis, her behavior had changed and she was not able to focus as well. She then started to have little headaches that led up to vomiting. She eventually told me that her headaches were at the base of her neck so we just kept pushing the doctor for more answers. We thought she was just having migraines but after a CT scan at the ER we were taken to Mott Children’s Hospital where she was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma. She just finished radiation and had a little chemo. We get a month long break and then start up the heavier doses of chemo at the end of August.
Any child that has been diagnosed with cancer diagnosis effects the family as a whole. You don’t expect to hear the words”your child has cancer”. It has been very emotionally draining. It gnaws at the back of your head even when you try to sleep. We went from a happy, healthy family to a family in the shadows of cancer. The fear of the unknown is overwhelming along with watching our once healthy daughter struggle with things she was once able to do. The enormous amount of gas money we use has also put a strain on our bank account.
Through it all, Abigail is a smiley, happy little girl. She is kind and never judges a book by its cover.
