Rally Kid Noey's Story
Noelle (Noey) was diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) on October 19th, 2022 at the age of 5. Noey was eating her breakfast in the kitchen on Oct. 18th 2022, when she abruptly fainted. Luckily her pediatrician was able to get her in that morning. They ran some basic blood work and thought she may be anemic, but couldn't be certain until the CBC came back the next day. The next afternoon (Oct. 19th), at 3:04 pm, I received a call from her pediatrician saying I needed to take her to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Scottish Rite ED immediately, that she thought she had Leukemia. We live roughly an hour away from the hospital and it was the longest drive of my life. Noey was still the happy little girl I saw every day. Other than her labs stating she was very sick, she looked as as if she may have not been feeling well, but that was tt. Once we arrived, Children's rushed her through the testing and admitted her to the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center floor at Children's with an official diagnosis of ALL. On Oct. 19th at 11:17 pm, we were in the room that we would call another home for a month. The next day she had her first surgery, getting her port placed, and then on the 21st she had her first dose of chemotherapy. It happened so fast, and yet time seemed to stop. Since then, Noey has undergone countless port accesses, anxiety attacks, lumbar punctures, blood transfusions, platelet transfusions, a variety of chemotherapy, and 2 bone marrow aspirations, in addition to the endless lost of side effects. She took her last dose of chemo on December 26th, 2024, and had her port removed on January 24th, 2025. She now gets her labs checked once every other month to make sure that the cancer stays away. Noey is a happy, sassy, fun-loving little girl that will celebrate her 9th birthday in Nov. She loves to dance at home, and will start her first dance class this Thursday!
