In the spring of 2023, Daxton was very fatigued, falling asleep, had decreased appetite, unexplained bruising, and petechiae. He was later diagnosed with ALL.
He has chemo 4-5 days a week, traveling to the children’s hospital 50 minutes away one way. He’s been admitted for 11 days. His port wouldn’t heal so it needed to remove it and place another one. He’s had steroids and many lumbar punctures.
He also has a 19-month-old little sister who has a rare blood disorder and is transfusion-dependent every 4-6 weeks so she has a port like him.
