Abbey C.Follow

Abbey was diagnosed with leukemia on October 2nd, 2008, right after she turned 3. She is still in active treatment, but is doing very well. About 7 months into her treatment the doctors found a blood clot in her brain that was a side effect from her chemotherapy. After 6 months of two shots a day in her arms and legs, the blood clot has dissolved. Right now she is in maintenance phase, which is less intense so she is feeling better and her hair is coming back beautifully :). Abbey has been so brave throughout this journey and her smile and laugh keeps us all going. She is the only girl of our four children and she loves her three brothers dearly. She loves playing outside and snuggling on the couch in her special pink blanket. She is such a blessing to our family and we are so thankful for St. Baldrick's and the money that is raised so that Abbey and the many others who are diagnosed with these devastating diseases can beat them and eventually lead normal, healthy lives :).
