Destiny loves horseback riding and it is one of the things she most looks forward to being able to do again. She loves makeup and dressing up, and has a dream to be a model one day. She loves her family and friends, going to youth group, and school/homeschool activities.
Destiny was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia in July 2021. Before her diagnosis, she experienced unrelenting headaches, blurry vision, shortness of breath, and fatigue.
Destiny had a bone marrow transplant on April 13th, 2022 during which she received chemo and ATG. The bone marrow transplant process was hard on her entire body. She continues to heal from the transplant. Destiny’s 3yr old brother (who has autism) was her bone marrow donor!
Our lives have changed significantly. There have been so many appointments and treatments in the nine months leading up to the transplant. There were many missed outings/activities/fun during that entire time, up until now. She is finally getting her energy and stamina back. During her transplant the entire family relocated 3 1/2 hours from home, for 2 1/2 months, to be with Destiny. The entire family was affected in many ways.
