💙 An Update on Lexi from W.D. Carroll at THE DISTRICT of Bernalillo Public Schools 💙
Our BPS family continues to keep Lexi and her loved ones in our hearts as she courageously battles through a difficult recovery following her stem cell transplant.
According to her family, Lexi has experienced several serious complications and is currently receiving treatment for a liver condition known as VOD. Her medical team is closely monitoring her health, and while there are many challenging days filled with pain and fatigue, Lexi continues to fight with incredible strength surrounded by the love of her family and the care of her medical team.
For the past several weeks, Lexi's family has been staying in Colorado while she receives critical medical treatment. As they remain focused on supporting Lexi every step of the way, the financial burden of being away from home for an extended period has become increasingly difficult.
We are asking our BPS community to come together and help support Lexi's family during this time. Donations in the form of food delivery gift cards or monetary contributions to assist with meal expenses are greatly appreciated. Every act of kindness, no matter the size, helps ease the burden and allows the family to focus on what matters most—being by Lexi's side.
Thank you for continuing to keep Lexi and her family in your thoughts, prayers, and encouragement. The strength of our BPS community shines brightest when we come together to support one another. 💙💛
