Abby's Journey
Abby first started experiencing unexplained pain around July of 2023. At first it felt normal since she had been playing so much out where her dad lives, and then gradually her pain would come for no reason at all. The doctors tried excusing it for an illness that just wasn't popping up such as the flu. Mind you, she complained a lot about something as simple as walking. Finally, when her teacher took the time to call me on the weekend asking how she was doing because Abby couldn't even sit in her chair anymore at school without pain I made sure to schedule a blood test to be done. Right before the time to do it she told me all she wanted for Christmas was not to be in pain anymore.
I took her that Friday and told them blood work needed to be done because she wasn't acting like herself at all anymore since her source of comfort was now just sitting on the couch with a heated blanket for the pain. We got the results back the following Tuesday which was Halloween of 2023. She had 56% blasts in her little body. Ended up being in the hospital for almost a week while they pumped antibiotics and anything she might need inside of her. She got her port and started her chemo treatments. Within about a week her energy started coming back. That's when I knew we really did figure it out.
We are now in maintenance phase with her, she's been in the hospital 4 different times for outside sicknesses. She has come a long way and continues everyday to push through. She is expected to ring her bell by next year. She has finally gotten down to one appointment a month since starting maintenance in July, She is doing so much better and back in school again. We are all just taking it day by day.
