Annabelle's Medical Fund
Donation protected
Hi,
We are Melissa and Tyler Pinkney and and we are reaching out to you on behalf of our 2.5 year old daughter Annabelle. It has been a roller coaster this past month as Annabelle became ill the beginning of December with a shaking condition. At first the test results indicated this was possibly a rare side effect of a Strep virus contrated through a bout with Tonsillitis. Through follow up visits to Sick Kids Hospital ,it has been determined that Annabelle's shaking ( tremors) and balance issues are a result of her immune system being compromised and attacking her nervous system. She has been diagnosed with Neuroblastoma Cancer and a tumor has been found one the right Adrenal Gland.
We are in shock and in a state of disbelief. How can this happen to our sweet little Annabelle?
We are still in the process of determining which Stage Annabelle is in, and are presently at Sick Kids Hospital where Annabelle is being admitted today. We are extremely hopeful it has been caught early and still awaiting some test results. I will update this post when I know more.
As it stands, Annabelle will require surgery to remove a mass on her adrenal gland and then may have to undergo Chemotherapy. Presently she is going to receive doses of steroids to assist with the shaking. The process will require a minimum one week stay at Sick Kids hospital in Toronto. For now, this is all we know.
We are reaching out to any of our F riends and Family who wish to help us out, as many of you have asked already. Tyler will need to take time off work as we will be staying at the delta Chelsea hotel while Annabelle is in the Hospital. This money will be used towards any expenses for Annabelle not covered by OHIP and other incidentals needed. As well as meals and travel expenses for us and Carol who are staying here. Any funds at any time through our Journey would be much appreciated.
We are so appreciative of everyone who has reached out already and we are so thankful that Annabelle is loved so much.
Thank you for your love and support, you don't know how much it means to all of us.
With Love
Melissa, Tyler , Annabelle and Noah
