Please help us cheer on Jade — she’s doing great more than two years after a
#bonemarrow transplant!
At age 4, Jade began experiencing unusual bruising, and her pediatrician in
#DiscoveryBay ordered bloodwork, which showed low platelets and hemoglobin. She tested negative for cancer, but doctors later discovered she had severe
#aplasticanemia, a rare but serious blood disorder.
Fortunately, Jade’s older sister, Ava, was a full match to be the donor for her bone marrow
#transplant! Jade spent several weeks in our hospital and then familyhousesf recovering! Ava also bounced back perfectly.
During her recovery, Jade missed most of her team’s softball season but was happy to play in the final game! She is now in the first grade and loves dancing, baking, playing with friends, swimming and riding her bike!
