Keaton Kiddos – Jessen

Keaton Kiddo - JessenJessen 3 años

El 1 de marzo, cuando lo llevaron al médico, Jessen tenía fiebre y presión arterial extremadamente alta. Fueron enviados de inmediato al hospital para que lo admitieran. Le hicieron radiografías y una ecografía de su abdomen, que mostró una masa con suministro de sangre. Después de más exploraciones/pruebas, se le diagnosticó neuroblastoma en estadio 4 de alto riesgo. El tumor está envuelto alrededor de su riñón izquierdo y el cáncer se ha extendido a sus huesos. A partir de ahora, 12 de junio de 2013, Jessen ha tenido varias pruebas/exploraciones, 2 biopsias de médula ósea, una biopsia del tumor que resultó en una incisión en toda la parte frontal de su abdomen, colocación de una línea central de Broviac en su pecho, una cosecha de células madre, 5 rondas de quimioterapia y múltiples transfusiones de sangre y plaquetas.

Honoring Joy on National Down Syndrome Day

Today, on National Down Syndrome Day, we recognize that children with Down Syndrome are 10 to 20 times more likely to develop leukemia. This unique connection between childhood cancer and Down Syndrome—a reality for many families, including our beloved Keaton’s Kiddo, Joy.

While the focus is understandably on the child battling cancer, siblings face their own emotional challenges. They may experience feelings of worry, fear, confusion, or even guilt, and it’s important to acknowledge their role and provide support for them as well.
