Dax’s story began towards the end of April 2020, when his parents noticed the shells of his ears were crimson red. His Fitbit was reading an accelerated heartbeat of 130 beats per minute, but his blood pressure was extremely low. Dax was prescribed antibiotics and told to wait four or five days to see if any changes occurred.
That lasted two days. At 2 am the morning of May 9th, 2020, Dax woke up with his face completely swollen, crimson in colour, and having difficulty breathing.
On July 13, Brianna found a lump on the inside of her left thigh. Bloodwork was done at their local hospital’s ER, with the family returning the next day for an x-ray and ultrasound. The following morning they were on their way to Children’s Hospital to meet with a paediatric oncologist, not really knowing what was happening. They were given the news that Brianna more than likely had cancer and tests began.
In January 2016, Luka was sick with what doctors believed was a bad flu. After a trip to the ER in February for unusually severe symptoms, Luka and his family were faced with a nightmare - a Leukemia diagnosis. Almost as soon as Luka and his family started to confront this horribly dark situation, Childcan entered the family’s story too.
