Birthday girl needs a miracle: Kelowna child prepares for chemo
The little girl from Kelowna turns four today and is celebrating from her room at B.C. Children’s Hospital.
At first it seemed like she was just a toddler lacking coordination, but in the following weeks Starla’s condition continued to worsen. “I was super shocked to hear the news. My mom and I were so sure the whole hospital visit would just have resulted in us getting some medicine and going home. We had no idea my daughter had something so serious going on inside her body and we feel horrible knowing how long she had been dealing with this without anyone knowing.”
Starla had surgery last week to put in a central line for her chemotherapy treatments, a process that will cause nausea, hair loss, constipation, and several other side effects.
