“Our perfect four-year-old daughter, Monroe Vivian Peterson (MVP, see that?!) had a nagging cough, intermittent fever, and strange pallor last week. Typical kid stuff.
“Then my wife noticed bruising on her legs, which was strange because she hadn’t been very active due to the other symptoms, and they took her to the hospital,” he continued.
Gunnar went on to list what doctors had discovered and the next steps for Monroe.
‘Four days ahead: white blood cell count KO’d. Platelets in the toilet. Hemoglobin count lower than in a football final. Hematocrit in the front row of the battle bus. Needs immediate transfusion(s). A bone marrow biopsy should be performed. Flow cytometry. Spine(s). Chemotherapy. And finally, the Make-A-Wish candidate.
“She has AML leukemia. How the f*#! have we arrived here?!?! More to come as we navigate the nightmare… Our Warrior Princess will crush this! She even said it herself!’ he said.
“Please keep our daughter and our family – immediate and extended – in your hearts, thoughts and prayers.
