Claire's Fight To Kick Cancer
Donation protected
Claire is a 4 year old who just found a love for dance. She started dancing at Bliss Academy of Dance last year.
A few weeks ago she was in her tumbling class and after doing a forward roll became very dizzy and off balance.
When she got home she started repeating herself and then threw up. Her mother rushed her to the emergency room, and after a CT scan the medical staff determined she had a mild concussion and advised her mom to limit her activity and keep an eye on her.
Over the next few weeks her symptoms started to become more noticeable and she showed signs of her balance being off more frequently.
Her family decided that they should investigate her symptoms more.
They scheduled an MRI, thinking that there may be something going on in her inner ear.
They did not expect the results of her MRI to show a cancerous tumor on her brain.
Claire was rushed into surgery the day following her MRI and has a long road ahead of her.
Having a child diagnosed with cancer is obviously heart breaking and any one of us can only image the nightmare the Fullmer family are living.
But their story is even harder to hear when you know more of their family and the year they have had.
Claire has a baby sister, Maggie, who just celebrated her first birthday.
Maggie started her life fighting. Elizabeth (Mother of these sweet girls), wrote: "Maggie experienced a lot of issues initially, but the ultimate diagnosis is severe pulmonary stenosis and dysplastic tricuspid valve. These are both issues that cannot be diagnosed in utero. They cannot be caught on ultrasound and are not present during delivery. The first sign of an issue is when the baby attempts her first breath."
The Fullmer's have been fighting for their babies life for a year and will continue to fight for her. All while now trying to navigate and fight for the treatment and cure of Claire's diagnosis.
Please, in any way, help to lift this sweet family in their time of need.
Please keep them and their medical teams in your thoughts, prayers, and hearts.
All funds raised on this account will go to Dallas and Elizabeth Fullmer to help offset the tremendous medical expenses they are facing in the treatment of Claire and her sister Maggie.
