Off Setting Cost From Hospital Stay

UPDATES WILL BE AT THE BOTTOM

Hello,

My name is Lacey, first of all I’m never one to ask for a hand out but at this point I need help.. I have used all my savings and currently have to take more time off work to stay with my daughter at the hospital.

Heres A Run Down..

Danielle got sick November 15th, the same sickness that had been running rapid through my house. She was on an antibiotic for a week, but was constantly throwing up so clearly at this point it didn’t work.

She weakened on Sunday evening, the 24th of November.. Her breathing was shallow and she was being restricted from air.

Danielle was rushed to BGH and right into Trauma, after 10mins I was told she was being admitted.. Lots of testing happening quickly, I was told her left lung was full of pneumonia and she had an asthma attack!

The pediatrician came down to check her over, and next thing I knew she was going to be airlifted to KGH..

Where she is currently in the PCCU at KGH.

KGH told me what felt like instantly that a pathologist would be meeting with me..

That’s when I learned very quickly that Danielle was going to be tested for Leukemia.

So yesterday afternoon she underwent a bone marrow biopsy and we just learned our beautiful girl has Acute Myeloid Leukemia

So there is A LOT going on, she’s stable on the machines for her breathing, she’s been given numerous antibiotics and steroids and everything blood related is separate from the respiratory..

Please pray for my girl ♥️

And I will give updates as I find information.

This is one of the scariest times of my life and I want to THANK EVERYONE for your well wishes, your prayers, your support for my baby!

Even if you cannot donate, please just give me a share but most importantly a PRAYER ♥️

UPDATE NOV 29

Yesterday we found out that Danielle’s heart is functioning at 48% a normal heart function is 55-65%. The cardiologist looked and said it hasn’t been a long time thing so they are contacting BHG to see if she had a heart attack of some kind on the Sunday we were there..

Going forward, they are waiting until Monday to start Chemo so her heart has sometime to improve.

UPDATE DEC 02

Danielles heart has improved its back functioning between 55-60%!

Chemo is STARTING!

She is starting physio to get everything moving again, it’s been a rough few weeks.

UPDATE DEC 05

Danielles blood counts are low, she will be getting a blood transfusion this afternoon and her 4th dose of chemo in this round.

UPDATE DEC 07

Danielle has been feeling ROUGH, AML has the strongest treatments to start with I’ve been told.

She has went for a CT tonight.. She has a had a high fever for 3 days and they’re going to see if there is any blockage due to what is coming up!

She also got her genetics testing back and has the gene that is high risk for repeat, but also has a mutation that balances it. She will be on a long term medication to help prevent it from coming back.

UPDATE DEC 08

CT showed that Danielle has, Typhlitis, which means Inflamed Intestines. All of her nutrients will now be through IV, she is only allowed to drink water.

UPDATE DEC 09

Danielle is sitting at a High Risk of needing a Bone Marrow Transplant.

Danielle’s liver is also swollen on top of everything else happening to this sweet girl.

She is being watched closely by multiple teams of doctors.

Also, as of today we are on blood transfusion #3 and she also had to get a platelet infusion.

UPDATE DEC 11

Last day of the first round of chemo!

Danielles counts are still low, but coming up on their own (THIS IS HUGE!)

Her liver is also looking good I was told this morning.

They did find two benign cysts on her kidneys but it’s okay because they’re benign.

Her intestines are still swollen, and she is still being fed through the IV.

Her mouth is slowly going to get better but it all takes time.

We do not have a target date anymore at this point with how sick she is getting.

Danielle is fighting this the best she can, she knows she has so many people that love her and are supporting her in any way possible.

Danielle is a girl with goals! At 15 she has worked hard enough to graduate a year early (hopefully she becomes well enough to stay on track, that’s still her goal), and has a passion for Science and Law. She has had a part time job since she was 14. She has a passion for sports, and has played House League Baseball for several years.

She truly is such a sweet girl.

Please Pray For My Girl

Let’s Help Her Beat Leukemia Together
