Today Geneva got to deliver delicious treats to each of her Doctor's offices (pediatrician, oncologist and surgeon). This is an annual tradition as we approach her 8 yr cancer free date. We appreciate everyone who was there for her and all of the children fighting childhood cancer. They will forever have a special place in our hearts!! She was happy to get to visit with her surgeon :) She wanted to make sure they got the Carnival Donuts before they were gone because she said they found her cancer and deserve something fun! Such a sweet soul!

The day Geneva's tumor was found we were suppose to leave after work to drive to Northern California for a family reunion. We sent our extended family off without us and hung back for testing the next day and then left on our way. Cayden and Kylie were only 9 years old at the time Geneva was diagnosed. Everything happened so fast with her getting diagnosed, it was nice to have the travel time with just our little family. We needed the time together with just the 5 of us.

Childhood Cancer is so hard for so many reasons. It's alot for adults to try to grasp but to try to explain to siblings and answer their questions and ease their fears, that is hard.

There was a cute video that I had recorded before all of this happened of Cayden and Kylie singing a song they made up for Geneva and through all of the pokes this song was the only thing that worked to keep her calm. The nurses got to hear it over and over lol. The love of siblings 💕

8 years ago today we woke up to this sweet little girl who turned 6 months old! It was a normal day. We walked into her well baby check up expecting to hear how great she was doing. Instead the Nurse Practicioner at her Pediatricians office left the exam room, leaving us questioning, and returned with the Pediatrician. She had felt a mass, the Pediatrician confirmed it. Instead of heading back to work we were heading immediately to Holy Family Hospital for an ultrasound. I still remember calling the nurse at my work to tell her I wasn't going to be back and I was crying so hard she couldn't understand my words. We did not see this coming!

We would like to spend the next week leading up to her 8 yr cancer free date, talking about her story and sharing pictures from back then and also some from her time with ACCOIN (American Childhood Cancer Organization Inland Northwest). We will explain more about ACCOIN and the amazing things they do during the week!

Today is Childhood Cancer Awareness Day. Thinking of all the children and families who are battling or have battled childhood cancer.

February 15th is International Childhood Cancer Day!

🌍The global incidence of childhood cancer is increasing.

💛As much as 80% of childhood cancer is diagnosed too late when treatment is not available or does not exist.

We care:

🌎Because children are our future and deserve the chance to live to the fullest.

💛Because no family should go bankrupt, lose their assets, become impoverished or go deeper into poverty when a child gets sick with cancer.

🌍Because no child nor family should face cancer alone.

💛Because access to better care, affordable good quality medications, and healthcare coverage can help stop the dying.

🌍Because access to the best possible care for children with cancer is their human right and not just a privilege.

💛Because The World Health Organization's (WHO) goal is to bring the global survival rate of childhood cancer up to 60% by 2030.

🌎Because this represents an approximate doubling of the current cure rate and will save an additional one million children’s lives over the next decade.

💛Because as parents, the stakes simply are not higher for anyone else.

Geneva’s Story

Geneva was born on January 31st, 2013. She was a happy healthy little girl. When we had her 6 month well baby check up we were caught completely off guard when we were told they felt a mass in her abdomen, this turned out to be a Neuroblastoma tumor. We were so shocked, she had no symptoms, we had no reason to suspect something was going on. In only one short week from that appointment our sweet girl had surgery to remove the 1/2 pound tumor that was in her abdomen. During surgery the pediatric surgeon didn’t like the look of a couple of her lymph nodes and he removed those as well as one of her adrenal glands as this is where the Neuroblastoma tumor originates from. We are so thankful that he noticed those lymph nodes as the biopsy of them showed tumors that were starting to grow in them that hadn’t shown up on the MIBG scan. Geneva was staged at 2B. After her surgery, she had a rough start to recovery. She woke up in a lot of pain and they struggled to get her pain under control. We were in the PEDS ICU and she had some complications and coded. We were frozen in place watching them work on our little girl, praying she would make it through. She had to be placed back on the ventilator and ended up with vent associated pneumonia. After the first couple days after surgery she really started to improve. We were fortunate that the tumor had still been encapsulated, and with the removal of those lymph nodes she did not have to have chemo or radiation. We had very close follow up to ensure that it wasn’t coming back.

We have been tremendously blessed with her outcome and felt called to give back to our community. We want to be able to help families and kids that are fighting childhood cancer. We have teamed up with ACCOIN (American Childhood Cancer Organization Inland Northwest) and are excited to be a part of the amazing work they have been doing for childhood cancer fighters and their families for many years.
