Carson was diagnosed with leukemia in April 2022 when he was 3 years old. He completed treatment in July 2024 and just started Kindergarten! We are hoping he can be a normal kid and we can celebrate!
Before his diagnosis, he was pale, not eating, and lethargic. When we had lab work done, it was discovered it was very low and he had to have a blood transfusion. The following day we found out it was due to cancer.
He has had numerous lumbar punctures, chemotherapy, steroids, heparin injections (he threw a blood clot), inhalers (due to his low immune system he kept getting sick), hospitalizations for oxygen, and port surgery. It was a balance when he couldn’t be in school/daycare for 9 months and he has an older sister that was impacted.
