What This Mom Noticed In A Diaper Changed EVERYTHING

Meghan Jenkins noticed her energetic, Miami Dolphins loving toddler Malachi was tired and lethargic with a lingering cough, but when she changed his diaper and found black stool, she rushed straight to the emergency room where hours later doctors delivered devastating news: acute lymphoblastic leukemia with a life expectancy of just two and a half to three more years. Malachi’s white blood cell count was more than 10 times higher than it should be, with immature cells crowding out healthy ones and making it impossible for his body to fight infections, requiring immediate chemotherapy that kept him hospitalized for the first intense month of treatment. Jenkins had to wear gloves to hold her compromised son who regressed in potty training, spending days in a depressing cycle of hospital visits while the toddler milestones she’d expected to celebrate disappeared, but the chemotherapy was clearly working as doctors saw him running around the PICU within just a week.

After the first month, Malachi continued chemotherapy at home taking eight medications a day and spending several days weekly in the hospital, then moved to a two year maintenance phase with oral medication and visits every few weeks before finally ringing the bell in August 2023 that signified the completion of cancer treatment. Today at age 7, Malachi is in remission, excelling in gifted classes, regularly appearing on the honor roll, and still cheering for the Dolphins while playing with dinosaurs and trucks, having passed the highest risk relapse period with flying colors. Dr. Julio Barredo, director of pediatric cancer programs at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, says “you look at him, you can’t tell he ever had leukemia” and that “for all practical purposes, he is pretty much cured at this point in time,” with a life expectancy now like any other kid his age. Malachi has outperformed his initial death sentence prognosis, proving to his mother who questioned God in that devastating diagnosis moment that sometimes the darkest storms do blow over, leaving brighter outcomes and happier days than anyone dared to hope for when doctors said her only child had just three years left to live.
