On December 9th, 2023 the Schneider family received the worst news imaginable. After two weeks of fevers, cough, belly aches, and fatigue their 6-year-old son, Owen, was diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. Overnight Owen's parents, Abby and Billy, had to make the tough decision to go from a two income household to one income to allow them time to focus on Owen's treatment as well as take care of his little brother, Wyatt.
Despite having had a few set backs including two rounds of Blinatumomab (28 day continuous infusion), the replacement of his port, and multiple fevers resulting in hospital stays, we're happy to report Owen completed his treatment in March 2026!
