#CallieStrong #FightingNeuroblastoma
Callie-Skye Hatcher is a beautiful, smart, curious two-year old. She loves the movie Frozen and playing with her friends Ryder and Sasha. Callie loves to dance in her ballet class and wearing princess dresses. Lily, Callie's mom, is an awesome mom and it shows in Callie's extensive vocabulary. Callie speaks in complete sentences and expresses herself very well. We have all been amazed.
Callie plays with our little Ryder. Ryder is also two and was diagnosed with VLCAD – a metabolic condition at birth via the newborn screening test. You never know why God brings certain people in your life. Callie and Lily became our special friends within the last year. Now we are fighting for Callie’s life.
After many visits to the doctor, Callie was admitted into the hospital on Thursday, July 25th. Lily and Drone, Callie’s dad, had no idea what could possibly be wrong with their little girl. After many tests over the next few days, Callie was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. The results were coming so fast, and all reports left the family devastated. The cancer had spread to many organs in Callie’s little body. Lily and Drone stayed positive and shared their story so that everyone could start praying. The power of prayer.
"Neuroblastoma is the most common cancer in babies and the third-most common cancer in children after leukemia and brain cancer.[4] About one in every 7,000 children is affected at some time.[2] About 90% of cases occur in children less than 5 years old and it is rare in adults.[2][3] Of cancer deaths in children, about 15% are due to neuroblastoma.[3] The disease was first described in the 1800s. (Wikipedia)"
On day three, the doctors began Chemotherapy. Lily and family received the first positive report that Callie’s response was positive. #CALLIESTRONG
Callie-Skye is now in the fight for her life. The chemotherapy will take place over the next 18 months. Lily and Drone, will have to spend endless hours at the hospital. Lily needs to be with her little girl. Their lives will consist of caring for their baby. The medical costs will be endless. Please help with any donation, so that Callie will continue to receive the best medical care possible to continue her treatment for the neuroblastoma cancer.
Please share our story with your friends and family. Callie needs your financial support and your prayer. Thank you in advance for your help. #CALLIESTRONG #WEGOTTHIS
