Introduction

Most of you reading this probably know Geneice one way or another: perhaps your children go to school where Geneice works, or your children play ball with her children, or you attend church with her, or you play softball with her... or maybe you don't know Geneice--but you know her family. I'm Jamie, Geneice's sister-in-law... We set up this blog to try to keep all of Geneice's "fans" updated on her and her progress.

To begin...

A few weeks ago Geneice was not feeling well. She went to the doctor, thinking she had the flu, and he did a blood test. The results came back that her white blood count was at a 0.6. Normal is a 3, so the doctor immediately put her in the hospital. She stayed for a few days for testing, and then was able to go home and do the rest of the testing as an outpatient. Throughout the next two weeks, she didn't feel well at all, but you'd never know it. She's a go and do-er, not a complainer. On Thursday, May 27, she had a bone marrow biopsy. The results came back the next day, and were not what anyone wanted to hear: Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, or ALL. He admitted her to LDS Hospital.

As a family, we are behind her all the way. We know that together, we can fight this and support Geneice through this journey, a journey that no one asks for, but some must take...
