Isaac loves to laugh and roar like a dinosaur! He loves the movie Zootopia, and all animals; especially the therapy dogs that come see him every week. He also LOVES being outside!
Isaac was diagnosed at 15 months old. It was discovered during his open heart surgery at 14 months old that he showed some signs the doctors were concerned about, and he underwent his first bone marrow biopsy. He did not have any symptoms until about 4 days before we got the call for results from his biopsy; he was starting to show some petechiae.
Isaac requires 6 sessions of chemo, in which each session lasts 4 weeks inpatient. The biggest struggle we have had to undergo is not being a family altogether. His older sister gets sent to a grandparent’s house every single weekend since Mom is in the hospital, and Dad works every weekend to accommodate her school/after-school activities while Mom is gone half the week. These changes and separations have put a lot of anxiety into his older sister since she only gets to see Isaac about 1-2 times each month and doesn’t get to spend time with both parents at the same time. We have had to miss every single family holiday with extended family as well.
What more is there to say other than Isaac is amazing!? He’s much stronger than I could ever be during this kind of situation. and always has a smile on his face (on good days), and he’s rocking it!
