Tylynn was born February 12 2004. She has been a happy and healthy baby and kid until she was diagnosed with Asthma and Allergies by the doctors time and time again but she kept getting sick over and over again. The doctors where we lived refused to do further testing even though her symptoms were not getting any better. On the night of May 29th she woke up and could not breath. I rushed her to the local hospital and they started her on steroids right away. She began to breath again, once again they attempted to tell us that it was an asthma attack which she had never had. I refused to leave the hospital with out further testing, so the ER doctor agreed and proceeded with a blood test and X-ray. She had a tumor on top of her lungs so big you could not see her lungs and it had wrapped around her airway. They proceeded to rush us to another hospital, unfortunately she had stopped breathing once again.
After she was admitted and they had to start breathing for her, bagging her for 2 days until her tumor shrank enough for the ventilator tube to be placed. She was on so many machines I could not even count. A week later she woke up and has been improving every day. She was finally diagnosed with T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma/Leukemia Stage 4. She has been going through chemo since and will begin radiation soon. The doctors here saved her life and that is the most powerful thing I have ever seen God make happen in my life and for that I am most grateful to God and the doctors. My child survived the most horrible thing I have ever had to see and she has fought every day since and for that I am grateful to her. She is my heart and soul and I love her so very much and am so glad God gave us both another chance at life. She is and will be receiving treatments for the next 2 years despite all that the doctors say she has a great chance of beating this horrible disease. She is the strongest person I have ever met and has a great attitude through this all and will beat this disease.
