Lainey’s Story

Site created on January 28, 2024

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place.

My name is Lainey - and I was just recently diagnosed with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. 

What's B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia?
B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) happens when the bone marrow produces too many abnormal B-lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that helps your body fight infection. Too many B-lymphocytes can accumulate in the blood and bone marrow and crowd out other healthy blood cells, leading to anemia and low platelet counts, and making it harder for your body’s immune system to fight off infections like colds and pneumonia. This is the most frequently diagnosed subtype of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children and adults.

 We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you so much for visiting.

Journal entry by Dee Wright

Today Lainey was scheduled for labwork and bone marrow biopsy to check to see how she was responding to treatment but unfortunately her ANC was 10.  That means her immune system is wiped out again and she is neutrapenic.   So they canceled the biopsy and rescheduled for next Wednesday.  She hasn't felt good since Sunday and has been running low grade fever(99-100), so we are keeping close eye on her incase we have to rush to the ER when it gets to 101.  

We appreciate all the love and support from all our family and friends 🧡  We are so blessed
