Mikayla is back to her smiling self
Over Christmas 2020, something was clearly wrong with then one-year-old Mikayla. She was pale. She didn’t want to eat or play. She didn’t giggle, even when tickled.
-
When bloodwork showed extremely low hemoglobin, she was hospitalized for several blood transfusions. These perked her up — but only temporarily.
Then a bone marrow biopsy showed Mikayla had blood cancer.
There are experiences, I think, in human life where we run out of tears, and that was one of them.
— Juan Manuel, Mikayla's father
Mikayla was referred to St. Jude where her cancer was identified as acute myeloid leukemia.
Around this time, her great-grandmother received a certificate of appreciation for supporting St. Jude, to which she had donated for more than a decade. It seemed like a sign of hope.
Mikayla successfully underwent chemotherapy. She is now finished with treatment and doing well.
Our Mikayla is back!
— Mikayla's grandmother
Families, like Mikayla's, will never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.
