Adelle’s Story

Adelle was an active 4-year-old child that loved to play and sing. She loved nature, hiking, horseback riding and swimming. Adelle was sweet, caring, and very thoughtful. She loved her family and friends, especially all her cousins. In the summer of 2020, our sweet baby girl began to get sick. She was vomiting every morning and just not acting like herself. She was taken to the emergency room and doctors discovered a large mass on her brain stem. Adelle was admitted into the hospital for further testing.
