This morning, Libby, a brave 9-year-old, woke up with sudden, excruciating head pain that made her vomit.
For a child already fighting for her life, this was the start of another terrifying day.
Libby has aplastic anemia, a rare and dangerous condition in which her body can no longer produce the blood cells necessary to survive.
Doctors had been preparing her for a bone marrow transplant when a gene mutation was discovered, complicating her case and limiting the number of specialists in the entire country who can treat her.
Instead of finding answers, Libby’s parents watched as she endured another wave of intense pain.
She continues to run a fever and remains hooked up to IVs while doctors investigate her symptoms.
Preliminary assessments suggest she may be experiencing aseptic meningitis, a rare complication that can occur after IVIG infusions in transplant patients, adding to the complexity of her treatment.
Despite the challenges, Libby’s courage shines through.
But she still needs the support of her community, friends, and family more than ever.
The family is asking everyone to send messages of hope and love for Libby — to let her know she is not facing this fight alone.
Every kind word, prayer, or note can help lift her spirits during this incredibly difficult time.
Libby’s story is a reminder of the fragility of life and the extraordinary resilience of children who face unimaginable medical battles.
