Lielle is a feisty character. She is hilarious and makes everyone laugh. She loves unicorns and princesses.
Lielle was diagnosed with Wilms Tumor this past June. Before her diagnosis, she complained of strep throat-like symptoms such as belly pain and she had low-grade fevers. I noticed a lump on her abdomen that I wasn’t sure was there before. We had her checked out by a doctor and they sent us to the ER right away. Had her right kidney was removed that week, along with the tumor.
Along with her kidney and tumor removal, Lielle has had 13 rounds of chemo and has an MRI and CT scan coming up soon. After her scans, we can remove her port and schedule a ring ceremony to celebrate the end of treatment.
Lielle’s cancer diagnosis and treatment have taken a toll on all of us. It is the hardest thing we have ever been through.
Lielle is a true fighter. She is our 4th child and was always naturally strong in character, which has definitely paid off during this challenging time.
