My daughter, Haylee Kate, was diagnosed with APML Leukemia, which is a rare form, on November 21, 2011 at 8 years old. I thought this would be a good way for me to get my thoughts and feelings out and to let others know about her ups and downs throughout her treatment.

2/17/12 - A funny and cute thing happened to Haylee

A funny (but cute) thing happened to Haylee at daycare on Friday:  All the school-agers were out of school Friday for Presidents Day weekend.  A girl named Kendall goes there and her and Haylee are buddies.  They were super excited to see each other Friday morning when Kendall arrived.  The school-agers were in the back PreK room playing and having fun.  In the middle of this room is a loft (a bunk bed with the bottom bunk taken out, top still there), which is also the focal point of the room.  Haylee, Kendall, and a few other kids were on top of the loft playing their DS games and hanging out.  Another school girl had just arrived and saw Haylee with all of her shaved head glory and stood there and stared for a minute.  Haylee wasn't paying attention to this girl (and let's face it, she wouldn't care anyway).  Kendall saw her and yelled at her, "YEA SHE'S GOT CANCER...YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH IT??"  Haylee looked up at that point, saw the girl, and looked back down at what she was doing while Kendall stared her down for a minute.  It was so funny but yet so cute because Kendall was protecting her!!
