December of 2015 Shelby had surgery to remove a mastoid of infection behind her ear and
patch part of her cranium where the infection had started to eat the bone exposing brain.
The culture of the infection came back as LCH. This is when good cells go rogue and
cause BIG problems.
Once diagnosed with LCH, she had to start seeing an oncologist to determine treatment.
You can never get rid of this disease, but you can get rid of the rogue cells and try and prevent
the good one from going bad. Shelby will endure a minimum of 12 months of chemotherapy
to try and get these cells back in order.
Shelby just turned 7 on December 31 and only God knows how challenging this is physically
and mentally going to be for her. Medical bills will add up. Gas will add up. Fast food meals
in between doctors appointments will add up. As of today Shelby is responding well to the
treatments with few side effects.
