With a very heavy heart, I am sharing an update received from Zelnay’s mommy following the results of her recent bone marrow tests.
Sadly, the news they had so desperately hoped and prayed for was not the outcome they received.
The results revealed that 99% of the cancer cells have returned. At this stage, there are no further treatment options available for precious Zelnay. Her little body is no longer responding to chemotherapy, and the relapses have followed too quickly.
Because she is not in remission, doctors are unable to proceed with a bone marrow transplant or immunotherapy. Further chemotherapy is no longer considered a safe option for her.
Last night, Zelnay was brought home, where she is surrounded by the love, comfort, and safety of her family. She will continue to visit the hospital once or twice a week for follow-up care. Should she require blood or platelet transfusions, these will be provided, and if she becomes very ill, she will be admitted and supported as best as possible. Her medical team will do everything they can to manage any pain and keep her comfortable.
I kindly ask that we respect the family’s privacy and give them the time and space they need to process this heartbreaking news and spend precious moments together. Every prayer, message, and act of kindness has meant more than words can express.
If messages are not read or answered immediately, please understand that the family simply needs time to be together.
Right now, I ask that we surround this precious little girl and her family with love, grace and endless prayers.
