Welcome to Abby's site. Abigail is a beautiful, kind-hearted, caring little girl. She has overcome quite a few obstacles, but is still here and she is thriving.



Abby was born February 28th 2002. We found out then that she had a birth defect called an esophageal atresia. She had this surgically corrected and was doing great or so we thought. Then at 4 months old she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, which is a rare childhood cancer. We are very fortunate that she was diagnosed so early, because it seems as though an early diagnosis makes all the difference. She had surgery to remove the tumor and some affected lymph nodes, followed by several courses of chemotherapy. Abby was declared cancer free in November 2002.



It was discovered in August 2007 that Abby has a moderate hearing loss and is going to need hearing aids. One of the chemotherapy durgs, Carboplatinum, led to a condition knows as ototoxicity.

We created this page to give others hope and to share our story. We hope that you enjoy it.

Abby is fine. We do not know exactly what went wrong with the test. It could have been eating vanilla, or it could have been a lab error. Bottom line is/was we have never restricted her from eating anything prior to her test and the levels have never been high before, but they were. We got the results from the rest though, and she is fine. Thanks for your prayers.

Now it is time to plan for a birthday party. She will be 6 on the 28th.
