Meet Whitley, a quiet soft spoken Sixteen year old junior in high school. Whitley has always been an active, healthy child and has never been in the hospital or sick from anything. She's always been able to do the normal things.Go to the movies hang with friends.Swim play volleyball like normal kids. Several years ago, Whitley developed a rash. I took it to the doctor and the doctor said it was Eczema, so we began medicating it with creams and had her bathe with different soaps, and it never got better. We just thought it was a bad case of Eczema. It began to spread everywhere. But we thought nothing more of it. Whitley began to complain of being cold hot and sometimes tired. But with being a teenager We thought it was normal. Until she passed out when she was hanging out with her father. We took her to the emergency room, but they said her. Iron was low and she had slight fever, gave her IV fluids and sent her home. What really caught my attention was on the first day of school. She normally wears a hoodie and sweatpants. But this time she changed her outfit and wore something more fitted when she came out of her room. I noticed she had a bulge in her stomach. It was round. I immediately asked her what was wrong with her stomach, and how long has it been that way? She said she thought she was gaining. Weight I asked her, did it hurt? She said, no.. I immediately made her an appointment for will child check But it was a couple weeks away. She went to a friend's house for a sleepover about a week later. In the course of the weekend, she saw her cousin and he asked her, was she pregnant. When I picked her up from the sleepover, she told me what her cousin had said. I immediately told her to get her stuff together. We are going to the emergency room. When we arrived, they took some labs from whitley and thought she was constipated.After the labs came back, the doctor wanted to run more tests.When he returned, he came back with a very serious look on his face.And said there was some fluid on her stomach.He was concerned about and we needed to go to children's hospital.Immediately and was even considering taking her by ambulance, we went to children's hospital children's medical center, August 31st 2025 it was diagnosed with cancer.September first, in whitley stayed in the hospital for 2 months before she was able to go home.
