| On February 5, 2007, Hannah, our two year old, had been running a fever for a couple of days and had a strange “rash” on her legs. A visit to the pediatrician led Hannah to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital for blood work. What was thought to be a simple fever turned out to be Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL). In an instant, our world was turned upside down. Even more difficult news came when we found out that the type of ALL she had was very rare and would require her to undergo a bone marrow transplant in order to save her life. Hannah’s transplant occurred May 25, 2007.
As of today, we are still in the midst of recovery (which is a long, slow process), but it appears Hannah is cancer free and we pray that she will remain cancer free forever. We are grateful to God for each day we have with Hannah and for her courageous spirit. She continues to amaze everyone with her cooperativeness and sweet disposition. We are also thankful for the outstanding medical care God has provided for Hannah. Even just a few years ago, they would not have had the knowledge to treat Hannah’s rare leukemia as effectively. Unfortunately, until this happened, we never really thought about how cancer research was funded. We now realize that without private donations life saving research, which has benefited Hannah and many others, wouldn’t happen. We ask that you pray for Hannah and all the other children who bravely face cancer, and consider joining us in supporting pediatric cancer research through the Butterfly Walk. |
