Youngest has Leukemia

Story

I'm a single mom to 4 boys. My youngest son Tyson was diagnosed with Acute Lymblastic Leukemia on June 9, 2024(my birthday). I noticed he wasn't his energetic self and he kept throwing up everyday so I knew something was wrong. I figured he was just dehydrated because it was really hot. I never imagined he had leukemia. I remember at the emergency room they kept doing blood work and then the doctor came in and sat down and said we need to talk. So we had to get rushed to children's in Dallas because his blood counts were so low. Still at this point I'm hoping she was wrong. But got there and they did more blood work and they were having trouble figuring out what type of leukemia he had. I remember he had a bad reaction to the blood transfusion the same night he was admitted. We learned he was allergic to red blood cells and platelets. He was hospitalized for the 1st month of treatments. I was terrified because my mom had just died from cancer a year before that. Because I had to stay with him at the hospital and wasn't able to work I lost my car and we became homeless. We are still homeless and without a car. Its hard trying to provide for 4 kids by yourself. It's been a year of ongoing treatments and he still has 2 more years of treatments.
