This is a picture of Emma. She is 3 years old & the daughter of Ali's best friend. Last Friday she was diagnosed with leukemia. I know this is not a normal post but I felt it was important. They had no signs & there is no family history. Kids at this age do not get much blood work done & when they do it's yearly. I'm not saying we should have our kids get monthly blood work ups but it's important to get checked out. Emma's leukemia is pretty progressive but curable. She is receiving chemo. Friends have all gotten together to plan a blood drive & a fundraiser for her. Emma is O+ & therefore can receive any type of blood. I will be donating blood for the first time.
Dylan will be going for a check up & getting the MMR shots tomorrow. We will be asking that he get bloodwork done. We saved Dylan's cord blood (stem cells) to help him, any siblings he may have or us. Tyler gets checked out & had his last surgery in order to see Dylan grow up. Last year may have been difficult but I'm so thankful everything has been taken care of & my husband is now healthy!
So what I'm saying here is we should all get checked out no matter what whether it's for yourself, your spouse or your kids.
