fast forward about 4 years, so I'm around 4 years old. some reason I'm very tired all the time. this didn't concern my parents too much because I still took naps at that age. so my drowsiness became more prominent and never went away. in addition to my tiredness, my joints started to ache, I got out of breath easy, and I didn't do much anymore. so I was taken to my doctor, and blood work was drawn. my doctor said to take me to Akron Children's hospital, and so my mom drove me all the way while my dad was at work and my sister at school. my doctor faxed my lab work over to Akron and when we got there, they had things prepared for me. I had a wheelchair and they took me to a room. they knew what was wrong just based on looking at my blood labs once. my mom had already called all the family and my dad was on his way. my uncle only worked a few minutes from the hospital so he brought new stuffed dog go make me feel better, I named him "boo pup." they waited until my dad got there and then they discussed what was wrong. I had cancer, crazy right? 4 year old with cancer? yeah, but it's true. I had 'acute lymphoblastic leukemia' and it needed to be treated as soon as possible.
