This is my beautiful baby girl. She is a sassy little princess. In July we noticed she started bruising unusually easy. I started logging it to make sure it wasn't just her being her twirling hyper self. And then she started getting pale. Gradually over the next few days it became worse. Until she had no color in her face, lips, and gums. We took her to the emergency room... Where they sent us to a children's hospital and after several days of testing we found out she had an extremely rare disease called Aplastic Anemia. Which means she produces no stem cells. Therefore her body doesn't produce normal cells that our body needs to thrive. Like our red blood cells, platelets, nutrafils, white blood cells, etc.
We're told there was no cause. It just happened.
So our lives quickly turned upside down.
Now she survives only through her weekly transfusions. She is on immunal isolation therefore isn't allowed to leave the house. She can't play outside or even go grocery shopping. It's imperative she doesn't get sick or she could go into septic shock.
We have a donor (thank you Lord!) And we have dates! But we will have to relocate the family to do this because we have to be near the hospital and we have other children that need their mom and dad as well.
This is the hard part. Asking for help.
We don't have the funds to relocate and with all the time off work we are struggling to make ends meet. We're asking you to please help if you can.
Thank you, God bless you!
