Amy's Aplastic Anemia Journey

24/03/2026

An update for everyone.

We had a slight scare the other day as Amy started showing a petechiae rash by her eyes (the same kind of rash that happened when she was first diagnosed) We quickly got her to the doctor for blood tests and a checkup. I was honestly expecting the worst.

The results came back showing her blood levels looking better than ever! Completely in the normal range!! 🙏🙏❤️❤️ What a wonderful suprise!!

Her doctor wants her to now wean off her meds which is absolutely amazing! There are no words for how grateful we are 🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰

This is a memory that popped up on my Facebook.

You never truly get over something like this...no matter how well your child seems now....every cough or bit of excess tiredness still sends my nervous system into a spin. You can never "unsee" the pain of living on an oncology ward..the reality that so many family's go through. I do my best to live each day I utter gratitude that we came out of this with Amy still with us...but we definitely still bear emotional scars from it all and that fear of a relapse always in the back of ones mind. Knowing that even just financially we couldn't manage again without help and despite all the wonderful help given the bills still hit us even a year later. No one can truly have an idea unless they have been there...and even then not everyone handles situations in the same way.

Amy’s Health Update

It’s been a little while since our last update, and we’re grateful to share some encouraging news about Amy.

She’s been doing really well recently. She picked up a bit of flu/cold, but recovered quickly and handled it like a champ. Yesterday she went for a full checkup and blood tests, and we received good news. Her cell lines are holding steady. Her platelets are still slightly low, but not at a level that’s causing concern right now.

She’ll continue on her very expensive Eltrombopag for another month, and then she will be monitored by her doctor to see if her body is ready to start producing platelets on its own. She’ll also stay on Cyclosporine until March. Because immunotherapy increases the risk of certain infections, her doctor has added Bactrim again to protect her from P*P pneumonia.

We recently faced a stressful situation when we couldn’t afford her medical aid premiums. Without her medical aid, just one of her medications costs around R20 000 per month. A huge, heartfelt thank you to Arms of Mercy for helping secure the donations needed to get her medical aid reinstated. Of course a heartfelt thank you to those donors themselves as well. We are deeply grateful. Her high-tier plan is absolutely vital for her treatment.

Times have been tough financially, but there are some changes happening and we’re doing our best to plan ahead and keep everything stable for her. Thank you to every single person who has supported us recently, and to everyone who has been standing with us since the beginning of Amy’s journey. Your kindness truly carries us.

💗Thank you for loving our little warrior💗

Amy picked up an infection, and we’re waiting on the results to see if it’s viral. We had to take her to the hospital today for proper bloods (not just the usual finger prick) and nose swabs.

It was tough on her, she really battled with it 😢 but big sister came along to give her some support.

She’s on extra antibiotics now. When her pain meds are working, she’s doing just fine, but as soon as they wear off, her fever spikes badly.
