My daughters really ill

[Sarah Lou]

Hey all,

:cry: I am having the worst time of my life. My daughter is in hopital, has been for the last week. She went a funnt shade of yellow so we went to the hospital for blood tests. Ipswich hospital kept her in all last weekend and we were told on Monday that she has leukemia. She has now been transferred to addenbrookes camridge a good hour away from us.

They took bloods and they came back that she maybe has leukemia so they did a bone marrow and that said she may have it. The doctors dont think she has, she has been eating her red blood cells her haemaglobin dropped from12.2 to 5.6, thats why shes yellow, they have not confirmed anything for us, tests have been sent off to gt. ormond street at the moment she is a medical mystery, she is at home now on wkend release, shes hd a blood transfusion which has made her blood levels stabalise and is 95% back to her normal self the doctors are amazed at her improvement, but we are still hanging in the balance on whwther she has this.

70% of her bone marrow is abnormal which the docs say does not necesarily mean leukemia, this NOT KNOWING is killing me, Im so scared, aint slept in days. She has to go backon sunday for more blood tests, my poor little baby does not know whats going on. Neither do the doctors, neither do we. I hate this its killing me

Try to stay positive hun & try and get some rest, easier said than done in a situation like this I know!

Hi Sarah,
You must be living every mother's nightmare right now, but try to stay +.ve and hopefully it will all blow over, and you'll find out it's not leukemia.
I know it's really hard for you at the moment, but I know 3 people who pulled through leukemia, my cousin's little girl age 6, my hubby's cousin 40+ and my old neighbour's granddaughter 12. So, it looks like it's not as bad as it's thought to be, but of course as a mum you'll worry like crazy, it's only natural.
I hope you din't mind me telling you about the people I know, but in cases like this, I never know what to say for comfort.
Give your little girl a big hug and a kiss from me, and take care all of you.
Please keep us updated.

Sarah :hug:

I can't begin to imagine the hell you are going through, my heart goes out to you and your family.

If they've run all these tests so far and can't/haven't definitely said it's leukemia, then it hopefully it's something else completely - they tend to be pretty accurate and swift with those kinds of diagnosis.

The blood transfusion has obviously done her the power of good, so that's a very positive sign.

Should you get the worst news and it is leukemia, then it doesn't necessarily mean the worst, childhood leukemia has one of the highest cure success rates.

You're doing a fantastic job - kids have huge capacities for dealing with the things we as adults find the most daunting - with your love and support she'll be stronger than ever.

Lots of love and positive wishes for you all

Trin

Sarah, words can't explain how I feel for you, having your little one so poorly, it's terrible but you will get stronger and you will be her fighter, working alongside her to make her stronger again.
It must be a nightmare for you at the moment, stay strong for your daughters sake if not your own, she needs you to be strong for her right now.
Please keep us all updated with her progress, you're in our thoughts :hug:
Love and hugs

Love, hugs and our best wishes to all of you and such a worrying time, i can understand the not knowing, it is so difficult to deal with the unknown.

As others have said, if it does turn out to be leukemia, they can do so much now. My friends daughter who is 2 has it, and you would scarcely believe it! Please try and stay positive, we are all thinking of you with love :hug:
