Hailey was diagnosed with leukemia on January 30th, 2022 just before her third birthday. Her brother was born just four days later so her entire world was turned upside down at once. She just completed over 2 years of treatment on April 11, 2024!

Before her diagnosis, she bit the inside of her mouth and the sore wouldn’t heal, doctors originally thought it was just infected. She was very weak and would refuse to walk due to leg pain.

She has had port placement surgery and port removal surgery, bone more aspirations, lumbar punctures with spinal chemo, chemo infusions, oral chemo, blood transfusions, and platelet transfusions. Our biggest struggles were financial and travel because we live 2.5 hours from our treating hospital.

Hailey’s diagnosis changed a lot for us. We had to spend a lot of time isolated from friends and family and we spent a lot of our time at the hospital and traveling to the hospital.
