Henrik's mom, Janna, writes:

"On Wednesday December 27th Danny and I brought Henrik into the walk-in clinic for what we thought was going to be a routine in-and-out check up, get an antibiotic and go home. Based on a few more symptoms we decided to do a basic lab test called a CBC. Within minutes of receiving very abnormal lab results and seeing the concern from our pediatrician... I asked him to just tell it to me straight... his response, "It's likely leukemia." Our hearts sink. It's your worst fear. It's unreal. We can't even process it. We're hopeful that it's not. We were immediately sent over to the Children's Hospital ready for an inpatient admission. I asked the nurse which pediatrician is on call. She says his primary doctor will be doctor Kobrinsky... my heart sinks again. 

Now for people that don't know Dr. K, I've learned over the past 3 days that he's the most amazing, brilliant, caring doctor that is so passionate about what he does, but no one wants their primary doctor to be a pediatric oncologist. We get into the room and get settled and as Dr. Kobrinsky is assessing him I look at him and ask 'This isn't anything else is it?' With his hands on Henrik's little tummy he looks at me and says with certainty 'This is cancer.'"
