a normal four year old.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Everything'spying. The first three four.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Years, she was, you know, just like a healthy little
girl for the first like you know, a few years
of her life. And then it was actually just a
couple of weeks before her fourth birthday and she hadn't
really had too many sicknesses or anything, and that like
week leading up to her diagnosis, she had like consistently
(01:48):
like high fever, like it would get up to like
one O four, one o five, and we were like
just giving her like pyalale moutroom like around the clock.
Literally it was like studying my alarm in the middle
of the night to give her medicine. And like the
five days before we took her into the hospital, I
had taken her to urgent care twice and to the
(02:11):
pediatrician's office twice, and by like the fourth appointment, I
just like knew something was not right, like this is
not normal, And so we went to that like fourth
appointment at the pediatrician's office, and I requested for like
blood work to be done, like x rays. They just
wanted needed to figure out what was going on. They
were like, oh, you could like take her to the
er if you want, but you don't have to. And
(02:33):
so I decided I'm just going to start driving. We
lived like fifteen or twenty minutes away from my children's hospital,
and on my way down there, I got a call
from her pediatrician and she was like, we got her
blood work back. You need to take her to the er,
like right away. And she told me on the phone
her blood work is indicated of leukemia. And I was
(02:56):
just like it was really hard, like got us scenes
on colleges right away and by like the next day.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
At this age, how do you even explain what's going on?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
She had no idea, And like we're going into the
hospital and she's having to like you know, have oxygen
and like all this stuff. It's just scary for her.
Speaker 2 (03:17):

playing with other little kids. She loves playing soccer and

a two year old brother and the seven year old.
