Adilyn is very sassy for a four-year-old. She’s very sweet! People being silly and joking with her make her laugh and so do her siblings. She is a bright spirited little girl who in general is all around happy.
In the summer of 2020, her speech was slurred and she was walking funny so mom took her to the pediatrician. He sent them to a children’s hospital for an MRI and from there we had her diagnosis of DIPG.
DIPG has no known cure but Adilyn has had radiation. She has also undergone a clinical trial. The clinical trial was basically chemo straight to the tumor and not the entire body.
We have faced many struggles. My husband has missed several months of work to be able to spend time with her but in doing that bills get behind so financially we are struggling. Bills and life don’t stop when someone in the family has cancer.
We are all deeply hurt and saddened by what has unfolded with our baby girl.
