Our son was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) at 22 months, and our world changed dramatically. We had a five-month-old daughter and a 12-year-old daughter for whom life had to remain normal. My husband and I took turns staying with our son so that he was never alone.

So much has happened since his diagnosis, but we are blessed beyond measure
