Molly is an amazing 2 year old in the middle of a battle to save her life. This is her story in her mother's words.
"Molly was born a very healthy 8 pound 9 ounce girl on March 29, 2009. In august of 2010, Molly started to have difficulties with ears, breathing and allergies. We just figured she had asthma like her older brother Matthew. But with Matthew, with the breathing treatments he got much better... she didn't and she was on a lot of medication. In January of 2011 she got pneumonia. Our wonderful pediatrician (who we credit saving her life)... gave her antibiotics and told us to come back in four weeks because she wanted to make sure it was gone. Well...all the pneumonia cleared up but a spot remained...turns out it was a tumor in her chest causing all of the breathing issues. She was diagnosed with stage 4 Neuroblastoma on February 28, 2011 at 23 months old. She was diagnosed with stage 4 because she had unfavorable histology and a small percentage in her bone. She has undergone 6 cycles of chemo and OU in Oklahoma and surgery in NYC. She will finish up the remainder of her treatment at OU which includes tandem (two) stem cell transplants, radiation to the site where the tumor was, retonic acid (accutane) and antibody therapy. The remainder of the treatment she has left is at least six months."
