IN A MOTHER'S WORDS...

Molly is our baby!

She is one of four kids who help us love others better! Molly wasn’t feeling well at the end of the summer. We went to the doctor only to find it was a virus. We went back a couple days later and they thought it might have developed an ear infection. Then we started seeing random bruising. We knew something was up and went to our PA at Jessamine Medical. Listening to a mom who says leukemia, isn’t easy, but Erin at Jessamine Medical listened. We went to the ER and Molly was diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia), a type of cancer in the blood. That night, doctors found a very large mass that was blocking her airway and laying on her heart and lung. She went in to have lines placed for chemo the next day. With nurses and doctors EXPECTING a collapsed airway and the necessity of a breathing tube, she went into the operating room. A procedure that should have lasted 2 hours, was much shorter and she DID NOT need a tube. The next week and a half consisted of amazing nurses and doctors caring for our baby girl and a community of supporters (family, friends, football family, school family, etc.).

We were released from the hospital when doctors placed her port and saw the mass had nearly shrunken to nothing. Remission came after the induction period of 29 days, but her journey is not over. For the next two and a half years, Molly will undergo treatments to keep the cancer away. Long clinic days, increased possibility of infections, and possible hospital stays are in our future but SO IS MOLLY! We are thankful for the amazing support of our community and will continue to fight all for the greater glory of GOD (AMDG)!
