2yr old Ayla fighting cancer

On January 4, 2024 our sweet Ayla was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. A rare type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow that affects white blood cells. This news is devastating and heartbreaking for our entire family. We spend 19 nights in the hospital at diagnosis, including Ayla’s 2nd birthday. She has had 7 surgeries so far with multiple blood and
Platelet transfusions. A port has been placed in her chest and Chemotherapy started right away. Her treatment plan will be over the next 2.5 years and she will be on multiple medications everyday. Ayla will continue to have bone marrow and spinal tap surgeries. It is going to be a very long road ahead for the Castro family.
