At Home
We cherish every moment of time we have to spend at home with our sweet girl.
When she won’t let you “really” put her hair up, so you do what you can.
💇🏼♀️ We’ll have to try to cut her hair soon.

The most common childhood cancers are Leukemia, Brain & Spinal Cord Tumors, Neuroblastoma, Lymphoma, Rhadomyosarcoma, Retinoblastoma, and Bone Cancer.
Read through the slides to find some of the most common symptoms each.
The sole reason for concern with Avery was a swollen lymph node.
🙌🏼It was Mom’s attention to detail that helped us catch Avery’s cancer.
Sometimes it truly pays to trust your gut.

Another 👓 picture because I think she’s just the cutest.
Her sweet face.
Her hair flips.
All of it.
🤓 (I seriously have a whole series of these because she was too cute with Papa’s glasses)

🎈HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM🎈
Time to make some wishes, mom. Happy cake day! Enjoy. 🎂
A Cancer Parent’s Poem:
⛈️ In life`s storm, we stand so strong,
Parents to a fighter, brave and small.
Through trials and tears, we march along,
In the darkest night, we give our all.
👶🏻 Tiny hands, a heart so pure,
Yet cancer`s shadow, we endure.
Sleepless nights, but love endures,
Our baby`s courage, it reassures.
💛 Tribulations test our very core,
But love and hope, we`re fighting for.
In unity, we`ll heal and soar,
Triumph`s light, we`ll embrace once more.
🌟So let this tale of strength resound,
For parents with love, forever bound.
In the face of fear, we`ll stand our ground,
With our baby`s spirit, victory is found.

“You have been assigned this mountain to show others it can be moved.”
No one chooses cancer.
Especially not when it’s a child.
But, it’s what we choose to do with what we’ve been given that makes the difference.
That’s what we’ve chosen to do with Avery’s story.
To make a difference.
To make an impact.
To educate, empower, and advocate.
We wish every day that this wasn’t a part of Avery’s journey, but we hope that by sharing we can help another family.
Thanks to ALL OF YOU that keep encouraging us and reminding us why we share.

First, I LOVE that she enjoys books.
📚 As an avid reader myself, it brings me great joy to see how much she loves books.
💇🏼♀️Second, we just gave her a haircut (her first) last month.
It was just her bangs — and she didn’t make it easy — but you can see how long they’re getting again.
This means her hair is just growing, growing, growing!
💁🏼♀️Again, hair doesn’t mean a lot in the full scheme of things, but it does have some significant meaning on a smaller scale.
🎗️🎗️DAY 18🎗️🎗️
(Oh! Avery’s 3️⃣rd birthday is 1️⃣ MONTH away!)
Today’s #childhoodcancerawareness fact is that 2 out of 3 survivors will develop at least one chronic health condition.
Emphasis on *at least one.”
💲Again, this goes back to the lack of research funding for childhood cancers.
Most of the treatments our kids use were made for adults.
Not to mention, many have focus side effects that cause long-lasting side effects.
📢Our children deserve MORE THAN 4%
Keep advocating!

🍼We knew something was wrong with Avery when she slowed down on eating by 1/2 oz per feeding.
She always enjoyed her bottles.
Couple this with 2 swollen lymph nodes and it was enough to trigger concern.
🩸A blood test at the pediatrician showed abnormal labs. Another at the ER confirmed Leukemia.
She was just 7 weeks old.
Infants with leukemia tend to get sicker much faster and have more severe symptoms.
🌡️Symptoms in Infants can include:
• High white blood cell counts which can cause:
🔅fever
🔅fatigue
🔅swollen lymph nodes
🔅trouble gaining weight
🔅weight loss
🔅trouble breathing
• Swelling of the liver and spleen which can cause jaundice, as well as vomiting and bruising.
• Leukemia cells can spread into the skin & cause a rash known as leukemia cutis. Infants get raised bumps that are generally purple, brown, red, or skin-colored. The rash is often found on the face, neck, and upper body.
• It can also affect the nervous system, causing strange limb movements and trouble staying awake.
🥺Infants with Leukemia will likely also experience pain, muscle aches, and other discomforts.
This will likely cause the baby to show signs of distress, like crying and screaming.
The infant might have trouble eating and may sleep more than a typical infant.
👩🏻⚕️Call your Dr with any concerns and ASK FOR A FULL CBC PANEL if you’re still concerned.

💙Meet Gavin, a remarkable individual who turned from a stranger into family through the incredible act of selflessness.
At just 18 years old, Gavin knew he wanted to make a difference, and that decision led him on a life-changing journey.
🩸He eagerly volunteered to donate his bone marrow, embarking on a path that would forever change the course of a young life: AVERY’S!
One month from yesterday, we`ll mark a significant milestone: the 2️⃣-year anniversary of Avery`s life-saving bone marrow transplant.
Gavin`s selfless act not only gave Avery a new lease on life but also instilled hope, joy, and endless gratitude in our hearts.
💥 His unwavering commitment to saving a life is nothing short of extraordinary.
What began as a donation of marrow has blossomed into something truly beautiful – a deep and lasting connection.
💞Gavin and his mom have become a part of our family, their love and support immeasurable.
Today, as we honor Gavin`s kindness and generosity, we extend our deepest gratitude for the selfless act that changed Avery`s life.
Our family’s life.
🥰Gavin, you are a shining example of the power of compassion and the incredible impact one person can have on another`s life.
Your choice to donate marrow didn`t just save a life; it created a bond that will last a lifetime.
As we approach this significant anniversary, we celebrate not only the life that was saved but the love, strength, and unity that emerged from it.
🦸🏼♂️Thank you, Gavin, for being the hero in Avery`s story.
💚And thank you to @bethematch for walking us through the journey and introducing us to Gavin & his mom last November.

💕We often find that behind a childhood cancer patient, there`s a sibling whose journey is just as unique and important.
Although Riley was only 2 (Avery started chemo on Ry’s 2nd birthday), it doesn’t mean that she didn’t experience stress from the journey.
🥺Ry spent most of the next year and a half going from our house to their apartment where she would often only have one parent home.
She didn’t have time to even get used to having a baby sister before Avery was diagnosed at 7 weeks old.
Plus, due to the pandemic, Ry was never actually allowed to visit Avery in the hospital.
🤫BUT! Her Dr did find a way to let the girls play together for a very short time when Ry came into the clinic to get tested as a match for Avery’s BMT.
You can see those photos on the slides here.🤫
Today, we want to shine a spotlight on these incredible siblings and the love, strength, and resilience they demonstrate.
🦸🏼♀️🦸🏻♂️Their journey may be filled with a mix of emotions – from fear and uncertainty to moments of joy and hope.
Let`s take a moment to acknowledge their role as pillars of support, playmates, and cheerleaders.
👩👧Their love and understanding make a world of difference during tough times.
Let`s create a community of support where every voice is heard and every journey is valued.
One of our favorite things to see is Ry and Avi playing and laughing together.
💖They truly love each other.

✏️Fact About Avery: She has Sensory Processing Disorder which she communicates most often like this.
Any time she feels overwhelmed — loud noises, a song she doesn’t like, too many people, strange places, etc. — this is how she tells us.
Sometimes she’ll even grab our hands and put them on her ears.
🎧We’re looking for a good set of sensory-friendly headphones for her if you have a recommendation.🎧
So even if she can’t speak to us orally, she communicates quite well when she wants.

🩸 Avery’s journey began at just 7 weeks old, a tiny warrior facing the colossal challenge of leukemia.
But today, as we look at her, we see a fighter and —more importantly — a survivor.
💃🏼Imagine her journey as a dance, a beautiful choreography of resilience.
Two years ago, her steps might have been uncertain, but her spirit was unwavering.
She danced courageously through the trials and tribulations of her treatment, moving to a rhythm only she could hear.
During the first frame, from two years ago, her dance was a tender waltz, each step a testament to her bravery.
🩰 And today? That dance has evolved into a powerful, triumphant ballet.
Her steps are strong, her spirit unbreakable.
She pirouettes through life, reminding us all that hope is a powerful force that can turn the darkest of days into a beautiful performance of strength and courage.
🦋Avery’s dance is a symbol of her victory over leukemia, a celebration of life, and a testament to the indomitable human spirit.
Let her story inspire you to dance through life’s challenges with hope, grace, and unwavering determination.

🩸 Avery’s journey began at just 7 weeks old, a tiny warrior facing the colossal challenge of leukemia.
But today, as we look at her, we see a fighter and —more importantly — a survivor.
💃🏼Imagine her journey as a dance, a beautiful choreography of resilience.
Two years ago, her steps might have been uncertain, but her spirit was unwavering.
She danced courageously through the trials and tribulations of her treatment, moving to a rhythm only she could hear.
During the first frame, from two years ago, her dance was a tender waltz, each step a testament to her bravery.
🩰 And today? That dance has evolved into a powerful, triumphant ballet.
Her steps are strong, her spirit unbreakable.
She pirouettes through life, reminding us all that hope is a powerful force that can turn the darkest of days into a beautiful performance of strength and courage.
🦋Avery’s dance is a symbol of her victory over leukemia, a celebration of life, and a testament to the indomitable human spirit.
Let her story inspire you to dance through life’s challenges with hope, grace, and unwavering determination.
