Indie was diagnosed on September 20th, 2020 with All. Indie was sleeping a lot and stopped playing; she was barely eating anything. She had a few bloody noses that turned into her vomiting blood and then petechiae appeared. The first doctor we had a virtual visit with said it was a virus. A few days later her pediatrician recognized the symptoms and sent us in for labs. We had to take her in right away from there.
We did have to travel 4 hours (round trip) every 10 days for chemo. She frequently gets sick on the way there and back. She entered maintenance in the spring which means less travel! She frequently has chemo through her port, lumbar punctures, lab draws, steroid pulses, and she had surgery when her port was put in.
This still feels surreal. Indie continues to do better at the hospital, and currently, she’s feeling a lot better!
