We need a miracle. Mayleigh is on 3 low blood pressure medications and still not doing well. The doctors have prepared her for the worse and we have had to tell them we do not want cpr as it could cause even more pain and suffering as her body is so frail. We need every prayer warrior out there hoping for a miracle for her. We are beside ourselves with pain and fear this may be the end. Please, if there is someone listening please have mercy upon her. Please give her the 2nd chance she deserves! She is too sweet and kind to have suffered through this battle only to lose. We have not given up but the doctors have no idea what could be causing this other than a possible infection. She's on several antibiotics as well. We appreciate your energy at this desperate time of need. <3
At 3:39 PM on August 15th, 2017 we lost our only daughter and the love of our lives Mayleigh Kyndall Workman. She fought harder than any of us could have asked for after undergoing a non family donor stem cell transplant to cure T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
Mayleigh's kidney's ultimately failed her and her blood pressure plummeted to the point she was being supported by medications alone; the doctors and nurses did all they could to try and save her. She is the bravest, strongest and most courageous woman I know and we are beyond devastated as you can imagine.
We want to thank each and every one of you that has sent us your kind, loving words of encouragement and support. We could not have done this without each and every word spoken and or written to us. We are comforted in knowing she left us in peace and is no longer in pain. One of the last things she told my mom when she was visiting was that she was more worried and concerned about the pain and suffering that WE would go through in times of trouble than her own. It's a testament to how she lived her life as she would put her friends and others in front of herself. She also loved animals and became a vegetarian because of it so she could avoid any suffering to other living creatures.
It is going to be a long process before we can put the pieces of our lives back together again. The suffering and pain she endured for this past month is more than anyone could bear to watch and it was excruciating for all of us to see her go through this. She continued to give everything she had till her last breath though and for that we are beyond proud. She is the greatest gift and our most precious creation and we are empty inside without her. Ian is also feeling the same pain as he lost his fiance and is now a lost soul with no direction. We have reached out to him to let him know that we will do whatever it takes to honor their relationship and help in any way we can. Currently he plans to stay in the Portland area as he also tries to pick up the pieces and find his direction. We wish him all the best and appreciate all he has done for our daughter! <3
Thank you again for following our story and reading our blog/updates. We truly appreciate and cherish each & every one of our friendships and are eternally grateful for having you in our lives!
Love,
Larry & Camille Workman
