<div>This bright light of a soul is <strong>Kian</strong>, my son, who's currently fighting a silent battle. He's 3 years old and the bravest, most resilient person I know. We've dealt with health issues his whole life, but always blamed it on the fact that he was in daycare.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From being in ICU for days with RSV when he was 6 months old, constant ear infections leading to ear tubes at 9 months old, urology surgery at over a year old, and multiple ongoing respiratory issues, to a terrible pneumonia that ended with us being admitted for over a week in the hospital.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've been my son's advocate his whole life, yet I felt like no one was listening. All his pediatric check-ups were very quick and superficial; no one thought to do an x-ray, blood work, or CT scan. Until a single doctor with some humanity saw my concern and took it upon herself to order some blood tests and chest x-rays to rule out any illness. And thank God for her!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kian's blood count was so dangerously low they ran the tests twice before giving me a call and telling me to rush back to the ER.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On the surface, he looks like the happiest, sweetest kid there is. But inside, his platelets were nearly non-existent, and the rest of his blood cells were also very low. His chest x-ray showed advanced pneumonia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Once in the ER, he was quickly put on oxygen and given IV fluids and antibiotics, as well as steroids to help him breathe and control his fever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since 01/15/2026, he's been hospitalized. Daily blood draws, multiple blood and platelet transfusions, CT scans, a lung examination and fluid collection under anesthesia, and a bone marrow biopsy have been done to try to figure out where the root cause of the problem is, and how to properly treat him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is only the beginning of the journey. There's a team of specialists working diligently to help us find answers, but some test results take much longer than others. So far, all I know is that even if we get to leave the hospital, we'll have to continue coming back for constant follow-ups, blood draws, and check-ups. At least once a week, sometimes twice. Based on his results, the need for more blood transfusions is also highly likely.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thankfully, despite all the unanswered questions and a huge amount of uncertainty, Kian still has a happy disposition, great attitude, and knows he's loved by so many people
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I ask you to please help us navigate this journey as smoothly as possible, and prayers are always welcomed </strong>
</div>
<div>Thank you
</div>
