Piper's Cancer Journey:
Shortly after Piper’s 3rd Birthday she began having fevers. After a few visits to the pediatrician, ultrasounds and an ER visit over a couple of weeks, Piper experienced another fever that led her family to the NCH emergency department. After many tests, Piper was admitted for a week under infectious disease care and then released to the hematology department. After following up with hematology for a month, another fever led to the doctors figuring out what was going on and a bone marrow biopsy was performed. Within a couple hours, we were greeted in a consult room by physicians that told us Piper had leukemia. Earth shattering words! Piper endured many hurdles throughout her two and a half year treatment plan. Her sassy, witty self kept her strong through everything and kept her nurses and doctors on their toes! Piper became cancer free when she was 5 and is still regularly monitored but doing well! Her family is so thankful, blessed and grateful for every sunrise they see! Piper still has effects from treatment that they deal with daily, but she is well!
