Read this twice.

No child should ever have to go through this.

This is what cancer looks like…..
Our poor girl has been throwing up and nauseous all night. She was only able to get 1/3 of her oral chemo meds down last night. Waking up this morning, doctors informed me that the best thing for her would be an NG tube. This was mentioned weeks ago when she wasn’t eating, but she’s eating now. She’s worked so hard to taking her meds, but couldn’t keep them down yesterday. I said the problem is she’s nauseous, and if we can get that under control, she can go back to her oral meds. Ultimately, the NG tube would avoid her having to take her oral meds. They took her back about 45 mins ago, to do the LP with chemo, change her port needle and place the NG tube. She was very nervous and in tears. Please keep her in your thoughts today. We were not expecting things to go this way, but here we are. I feel defeated!

Just a thought as we are buying supplies, packing backpacks, and getting those school day lunch boxes ready…

Our thoughts are with the families that will not be celebrating the back to school routines 🎗️

“Fighting for……. (Fill in the blank)!!”

Those names above are only a FEW of our local kids who are currently undergoing treatment, in remission, or have lost their fight to childhood cancers. I could honestly name so many more.

Do NOT think for one second this is rare! 

🩸I went to a blood drive for a local little girl who’s currently battling cancer and in a huge need for platelets! Blood is ALWAYS needed. Took my crew along for them to experience. Not sure how they felt about watching, haha, but it was a great teaching moment for them.

If you’re local to the Covington, LA area… please consider giving blood 🩸

If you can help…. then help. God bless this child and as a community let’s show our support.

July is Sarcoma and Bone Cancer Awareness Month, and we’re honored to share the inspiring story of Carolyn. At just four years old, Carolyn was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a tumor the size of a grapefruit causing her immense pain. Over the course of a year, she faced multiple surgeries, including tumor removal, the resection of ribs, diaphragm, liver, and more. Despite these immense challenges, Carolyn is here today as a survivor, almost ten years cancer-free and leads the Rally Club at her high school! 💛💪
