Sydney Schuler

B- Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Sydney is a 5-year-old who lives with her parents, Malcolm and Candace, her sister, and her German Shepard, Chase. Sydney, like most 5-year-old girls, loves playing with Barbies, unicorns and rainbows, playing outside with her sister and dog, and the TV show Bluey. After an initial trip to the hospital for dehydration, fever, and low blood levels, Sydney was immediately transferred to Ochsner Hospital for Children to receive life-saving care. On January 19, 2022, she was diagnosed with B- Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and is following the typical protocol treatment for ALL. Sydney has a long road ahead of her, but her innocence as a 5-year-old is her weapon as she doesn’t understand the severity of her condition and she thinks she’s just fighting a cold.
