our happily ever avery’s journey
On Wednesday, December 16, we received devastating news.
Our sweet baby was diagnosed with Pre B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
Cancer.
At 2 months.
Incredibly rare at her age. Yet here we are.
Follow her journey with infantile Leukemia.
Our favorites
Cancer doesn’t rule every part of Avery’s life. We refuse to let it. This is a collection of our favorite just “good days.”
BMT DAY +95 | Happy 15 Month Birthday!
Let’s hope this is her last birthday to spend in the hospital. She’s spent all but 4 “birthdays” in the hospital over the last 15 months.
BMT DAY +94
What had Avery smiling today? “Encanto” Her mood has improved, and besides throwing up mucus a couple times, she’s been doing much better.
BMT DAY +93
After looking at all of the symptoms and the fact that the morphine did nothing for her told them it’s most likely the Seroquel wean.
OH HI! I’M avery!
I’m so happy you’re here!
I can’t exactly say I’m happy to be here, or that I’m delighted that we’re meeting this way. BUT, I can say THANK YOU for all of your love and support in this journey.

Diagnosis
It took a couple days for us to get an official diagnosis. Learn what initially raised alarms, the tests she had, and how we learned about her Pre B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
Life at Home
Avery has spent most of her first year in the hospital, so we try to make each moment of her time at home as enjoyable as possible. At the very least, it’s about spending time with Big Sis!
Helpful Terms
We all know that navigating cancer comes with a learning curve. We’ve put together a list of Leukemia vernacular to help as we continue through Avery’s journey.
