After a hard fought battle with many setbacks & challenges, she rang the bell 1/10/2025. In July 2022, she began running random fevers with no other symptoms & no one else in the home being sick. They would last 3-4 days & go away with Tylenol or Motrin. This would happen every 2-3 weeks. Her pediatrician saw her several times and we were always told is was a virus, cutting teeth, etc. She was seen October 26, 2022 by a new pediatrician & we were told the same thing. That doctor said if her fevers hadn't stopped by the following week, to contact her. Which we did, on October 31, & I pressed for the doctor to draw blood. That blood test was a simple finger prick which showed enough to make the doctor contact hemotology & oncology @ Brenner Childrens Hospital in Winston Salem, NC. Halloween night, October 31, 2022, Hayleigh was sent to Brenner's for direct admission. After many tests, we learned she has ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia).
