Amador (aka Baby Shark) is 4 years old and enjoys dressing up as his favorite superheroes, playing soccer, and dancing to his favorite songs. Amador recently became a big brother in February 2022, and he loves hugging and playing with his little sister Camila. Before Camila was born Amador was the youngest of all his cousins and his love of the viral song Baby Shark gave him his nickname; he is called Baby Shark by all his family, friends, and classmates at Preschool.
Amador was diagnosed with Leukemia on April 7, 2022. Before his diagnosis, Amador was an energetic 3-year-old who had never had any major health issues. The few months before he got diagnosed, Amador had been getting sick with a lot of coughs and/or colds. He also complained of some leg pain and he started taking naps more frequently.
Amador has had many Lumbar Punctures where he has to be put to sleep. He has also had chemotherapy treatments and he has to take medicine at home every day.
Our whole life has changed with his diagnosis. His sister was only 6 weeks old when we found out. We also had to move to Seattle and live at the Ronald McDonald house for a few months. Despite all the obstacles Amador continues to smile every day. He is always so positive and happy.
