Hi,
My name is Sydney and I am now 4 years old! My birthday was May
22nd. Everyone calls me Syd. On March 5th, my mommy’s birthday, the
doctors told her that I had leukemia. To be exact I have ALL Ph+ which
is acute lymphoblastic leukemia with the Philadelphia chromosome. That
is a lot to understand. All I know is I am very sick. On the cancer
floor of the hospital everyone was very nice. I got my first dose of
medicine. It made me sick for a little bit. Then I got to go home.
It was nice to go home and play with my sister Addison. She is 6
years old. We played and had a good time for 3 days. Then I got a
fever and Mommy and Daddy rushed me back into the hospital. I got
really sick. My tummy hurt and it hurt to sit. I had a really bad
headache. It was scary! I asked Mommy and Daddy to please make the
hurt go away. They told me it would be all right and they tried, but I
could tell they were sad. Even my grandparents were there: Pappy and
Grammy and Pop and Ya Ya.
The nurses had to take me to the PICU which is the pediatric
ICU. They had to put tubes in me so I could breathe and so I could
eat. They gave me medicine so I did not feel the pain. They took me to
the operating room and put a bag on my belly because I could not poop.
When I was awake I could see everyone but I could not talk. Everyone
told me they loved me very much.
My fevers got very, very high. I got an infection in my lungs
and in my brain and a really big boo boo too. They tell me that I will
need another big operation once my boo boo heals. The doctors and
nurses are trying very hard to make me better. They need to cure my
infections before they can treat my cancer. Some days I am better than
others. I hope they can take my tubes out soon so I can tell Mommy and
Daddy and Addison I love them.
Most of all Sydney needs your prayers. However, insurance will not
cover all of Sydney’s needs throughout her treatment and recovery
period, which at this point looks to be about 3 years. Any financial
donation made here will be used directly for Sydney’s benefit.
If you would like to make a contribution to be utilized for
Sydney’s family's expenses, please visit their FundRazr page at the

Thank you very much!
