On Saturday, March 7, 2026, I took Jackson to Children’s Hospital because he kept saying he was tired. I almost didn’t go—I felt silly bringing him in for something like that. But deep down, I knew something wasn’t right. He had never said he was that tired before, especially after we had been treating what we thought was just an infection for nearly a week. That visit changed everything. Instead of an infection, we were told the words no parent is ever prepared to hear—Jackson has leukemia. After what felt like countless blood tests, X-rays, and ultrasounds, on Monday, March 9, 2026, Jackson was officially diagnosed with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-Cell ALL). Just one day later, on March 10, Jackson underwent multiple procedures, including placement of a central line, a spinal tap, and a bone marrow biopsy. That same day, he began chemotherapy. Since then, it has been a whirlwind. We’ve faced some scary moments, but we’ve also held onto small victories along the way. On March 17, after 11 long days in the hospital, Jackson was finally able to come home. While we are so grateful for that, this is just the beginning of a long road ahead. Jackson will now have: * Weekly chemotherapy every Tuesday * Additional appointments every Friday to monitor his blood levels and determine if he needs transfusions * Extended treatment periods where we will be at the hospital 4–5 days in a row Over the next 2–3 years, our lives will look very different than we ever imagined. We will be traveling to Children’s Hospital multiple times each week, and there will be ongoing costs for gas, meals, possible lodging during longer stays, and time away from work. We are asking for help to support Jackson through this fight. Every donation, share, and prayer means more to us than we can express. Most importantly, we ask that you keep Jackson in your thoughts as he begins this journey. He is strong, brave, and already showing us what resilience looks like. Thank you for standing with us. ️ 🎗️Here’s to Jackson’s fight.🎗️
