The family of a two-year-old battling cancer is hoping her story inspires people in south Texas to roll up their sleeves and donate life-saving blood.
Two-year-old Amy Morkovsky’s leukemia was discovered almost by accident. On January 13th, during her brother Aiden’s annual checkup, her mother asked the doctor to look at a troubling rash.
“He looked at me and said ‘He’s great, his counts are good and um, she has Leukemia. You’re going to have to go home, get packed, find a sitter for Aiden and head to the hospital because you’re going to be there for the next 10 days to start treatment,’” said Amy’s mother Brandi, her voice cracking at the memory.
Nearly six months later, after chemotherapy and several blood transfusions, Amy’s cancer is in remission.
