160 nights in Hospital and Unfortunately Skylah has been moved into ICU ward 15 September 2025
Skylah has hit 160 nights in hospital.
Unfortunately she was rushed to ICU (Intensive Care) last week after skylah had multiple seizures one lasting nine minutes long.
After MRI , CT scans , Echo, Ultrasounds it has shown that skylah has now had once again another reaction to the chemotherapy and the results showed Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome swelling of the back of her brain , The results also found Blood Clots in both her lungs and in her leg.
She is also fighting high blood pressure which she has a special line in her arm and is getting controlled by the minute with Drugs to keep it lowered.
Skylah has been fighting severe mucositis from her lip all through her body for the last couple of weeks which is taking a toll on her body and can no longer talk because of it.
Her nutrifills are non existent which makes it very slow, painful process which time can only heal.
The nurse in ICU are with her round the clock looking after her.
Skylah is attached to about 9 lines getting multiple transfusions at one time .
It's been six months since Skylah was diagnosed with her leukemia, and it's been the hardest journey as skylah is just so sensitive to all chemotherapy and has devastating effects to her body each time.
Thank you to everyone who has donated to this page , and have supported skylah along this incredibly hard journey so far.
My girl is strong and so resilient but having to sit watching her in this much pain is so heartbreaking 💔
