Kimber loves everything rainbow and unicorn! She is a spunky girl who loves to play video games and she likes to play outside. Cancer has not slowed her down a bit. She used to do gymnastics and aspires to do gymnastics again. She became a big sister three days before her diagnosis. She is the most loving big sister.
On March 2nd 2017, Kimber woke up in the middle of the night crying and complaining of leg pain. Like any other parent we attributed the night leg pain to “growing pains.” In the morning she was her cheerful self but limping still complaining of her leg. On March 3rd, she still wouldn’t put down her leg so we decided to take her to the doctor. She ended up getting x rays and blood work. The X-rays revealed a dark spot on her right tibia. That following Monday ,March 6th 2017 Kimber got an MRI that showed an unusual growth inside of the bone and the surrounding tissue. We traveled to D.C. where Kimber got an ultrasound guided bone and soft tissue biopsy. We had to travel to D.C. because Kimber needed to see a special pediatric orthopedic oncologist.
Friday March 24th we welcomed our second child into the world, Vada. Three days later and a few short hours after bringing baby Vada home we received the news that Kimber’s bone biopsy results were not great and that she had cancer. Kimber has been diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma.
