Hannah's Journey
Hannah had been experiencing headaches and her stomach hurting off and on for a while. Also, she was saying that her leg hurt. Her complaining became more frequent and then she began to look very pale. We took her to our local pediatrician on August 23rd. He looked at her and immediately said her coloring was off and drew blood work. From her labs, he said they were all abnormal and that we had to rush to Duke Hospital immediately! Once there, they began blood transfusions right away in the Emergency Department. They said we would be admitted that day. We were moved up to the PICU later that day. They told us it was either a virus or cancer. Things progressed from there and over the next couple of days they determined it was cancer and it was leukemia. We were in shock and still are. She celebrated her 10th birthday in the hospital the day after we arrived. She is now about to finish her first cycle of treatment and may be able to come home for a couple of days this Wednesday. She has been in the hospital since that original date of August 23rd. Today is September 25th. She hasn't been outside since then either. I really want her to feel the sunshine and smell the outdoors again and feel a gentle breeze. What a treat that will be! She has between 4 to 6 cycles of treatment to go through and they are saying she should be done in January or February. We hope and pray we will be done by then and that she will be cancer free.
