Abigail was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome in 2008 when she was age 7. After several bone marrow stem cell transplant procedures by 2012 it became acute myeloid leukemia. She continued to be well enough to play with her friends until after her 12th birthday on June 28, 2012. During August 2012 Abbi retreated to her family with her new mac-book and kitty ‘Tiger by her side and by late September 2012 she refused all needles and further treatment. Abigail passed peacefully during the week after returning home.
