Meet Audrey: Stem Cell Transplant Recipient
For nearly two years, Audrey’s life was defined not by playgrounds and picture books, but by hospital rooms and treatments. She was diagnosed with a rare, life-threatening immune disorder that kept her immune system in constant overdrive, causing inflammation and damage throughout her body.
At Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford, a multidisciplinary team of specialists came together to give Audrey the best opportunity for a brighter future. They first worked to calm her hyperactive immune system and then began preparing her for a stem cell transplant. Six months after her first transplant, Audrey received another stem-cell transplant, this time from her mom. It was a lifesaving procedure that gave her a new, functioning immune system.
After spending so much of her young life in and out of hospitals, Audrey was finally able to return home, a milestone her family once thought might never come. Today, Audrey's immune system is functioning close to normal, and her strength grows a little more every day.
