 2 year old diagnosed with Leukemia today
A co-worker's 2 year old boy was diagnosed with Leukemia today..I'm so very sad about this. I work in a Pediatric Clinic, so it's extra hard when our doctors had to tell one of their own the diagnosis. It's hard anyway, I know...but someone they work with everyday..even harder. Two of the Pediatricians came in together to tell her and comfort and advise her. She's going to Little Rock (Arkansas Children's Hospital) tomorrow to get more testing and start treatment depending on what kind it is. The good thing is that its most likely ALL, which caught early has a very very good survival rate. I just hope it is that kind.
I want to offer any help to her that I can, but I don't know what is appropriate at this time. I know she'll be busy tomorrow with testing and all. Do any of you have any advice or experience on something she or her family may need help with in the coming weeks?
I can't believe this is happening right before Christmas...devastating! |
