Quincy was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on March 24th, 2022. She has just turned three years old! We had gone to Disney a few weeks prior and had the best time ever, we had no idea our world would come crashing down soon after. I had noticed Quincy had swollen lymph nodes for several months. She had Covid before Christmas and it was kind of brushed off as a “weird Covid symptom” but I didn’t like that answer and finally on March 8th, I took her in and her wonderful pediatrician saw my concern and ordered blood work. We did blood work on the 18th, which came back abnormal but “no cancer blasts” were seen. We decided we’d retest in a couple weeks to be safe. By the 20th she was limping for no reason, the 21st she developed a fever. So, I just took her in the Emergency room. From there, it snowballed. They send us downtown the main hospital in the middle of the night where we stayed for several days while we figured out what was wrong. My husband and I both knew. I don’t know what it was but we knew it was something horribly wrong. We finally got word on the night of the 24th. She had her port implanted on the 25th and we were off into this world of pediatric cancer. It has been the worst, most difficult thing I hope to ever do. But Quincy is here and doing amazing. We pray everyday that she continues to remain cancer free and she can move on and live a long, healthy life. She has handled this entire process so bravely and we are so grateful for her tough spirit. She is back in school and loves it! She has an older sister, Josie and younger brother, Calvin. She loves to sing and dance! She loves all things Disney princess and cheering for her favorite teams, the Kansas City Chiefs (aka the Mahomes) and the Kansas Jayhawks. She is still very much going through treatment and does her best to make the most out of every day! We have a wonderful supportive community  and couldn’t do this without them. She is in long term maintenance and is still struggling with the effects of treatment. She has avascular necrosis in her foot that causes pain for her everyday. She will be getting ear tubes hopefully soon as she is having hearing problems and lots of pain. But she is honestly so tough for a 4-year-old.
