Carter has a very sociable and silly personality. He is very energetic and always has a smile on his face. He is very smart for his age. He loves to learn new things as he participates during his brothers preschool lessons. He loves puzzles, trains, cars, and animals.
Carter was diagnosed with leukemia on August 10, 2022. Prior to his diagnosis, he had been having stomach and digestive issues for a few months. We brought him to the doctor to have some blood tests done for food allergies. We received the results of no food allergies but leukemia.
Carter receives chemotherapy treatment once a week. He has had numerous lumbar punctures, blood and platelet transfusions.
Cancer has changed many things about our lives, I am on a one year unpaid leave from work to care for Carter as well as his siblings. Carter also has a 4 year old brother and 1 year old sister that are socially isolated to protect their brother from becoming sick. It has been extremely challenging for our family to get this diagnosis, fight through his battle and be socially isolated from family and public events.
