6 month update on our girl 8 August 2024

Posted by: Brynn Armstrong

We were 6 months on Thursday since our little Quinn's leukemia diagnosis.

The last couple of months have been incredibly intense for everyone with Quinn in hospital for four days every two weeks to receive high dose chemo for 24 hours, then a rescue drug, and the following days to flush it out before we go home. It has taken a massive toll on her with extreme nausea, vomiting and fatigue but, as always she has taken it in her stride with her beautiful smile and personality shining through!

Last month we were admitted back into starship as Bubba managed to develop shingles on top of ongoing chemotherapy.

We also had a week where her ENT team thought that she had a secondary cancer. She DOESNT and we are still unsure why her general anaesthetics are so risky but we will continue to try and figure it out!

We are currently at Starship for the final round of this treatment before we enter a new phase that has recently been introduced after a successful trial resulting in significantly higher survival rates!

Despire everything, Quinn has grown so unbelievably confident in herself, having been diagnosed at 16 months old, still unsteady on her feet and slowly learning new words, to now running around the hospital and sweet talking all the doctors and nurses.

As always we have been so incredibly blown away by everyone's love and support, from care packages, visits, to simple check ins.

Thank you to everyone who has been there for us so far in each and every way
