i’m avery and i’m so grateful you’re here!

On Wednesday, December 16, we received devastating news. Our sweet baby was diagnosed with Pre B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Cancer. At 2 months. This is her healing journey.


Life at Home


Avery spent most of the first year of her life in the hospital. After bone marrow transplant, she was discharged and is currently home. She is cancer-free and doing her best to adjust to what life should be for a toddler. These Instagram posts represent those days at home.

🌟 Welcome, new friends, to our amazing community!It seems everyone is ready to hear Avery speak. 

Your presence here adds a sparkle to our journey, and  we’re thrilled to have you join us.

💛 To all our cherished long-time followers, thank you for your unwavering support and for being the heartbeat of this space.

This week, Avery has continued to be intentional with her words, and other forms of communication.

I haven’t caught her doing it on video yet, but the funniest thing she has started doing is “growling.” Mostly at Riley.

Oh, the joys of siblings.😂

Crazy girl! She truly is a joy to be around. 

Again, thanks for being here.

🔊FOR THOSE THAT MISSED OUR STORY🔊

Those of you who have been around a while know that we’ve had trouble finding Avery a speech therapist.

So, while we wait, we’ve been working with her using tips and techniques we learned online, used with her aunt, and just know from being parents. 😉

Last week she began making a lot of more “m” sounds, as well as a few more phonetic sounds.

Well, this week she began INTENTIONALLY saying, “Mama!”

We’re so excited to hear what she has to say!

Diagnosis

How did you know something was wrong? Mom noticed a swollen lymph node just under Avery’s right ear. Two days later, she noticed another one. She also noted that Avery wasn’t eating as well as normal. That was the beginning of a long journey.
