Ella was 6 years old when a doctor, luckily, found something peculiar: myelodysplastic syndrome.
A genetic change that would eventually lead to cancer and an urgent need for a bone marrow transplant.
Bobbie, her mother, was shocked and confused. Ella was happy and had no pains or problems as far as they were concerned, so this diagnosis was devastating.
But, the donor news came soon after, with a bittersweet sense of relief.
Cale, Ella's brother, was a bone marrow match. That meant he could save Ella's life, but it would also mean that he would have to become a patient himself.
Colorado Children's Hospital made him feel safe and helped this brother-sister duo become fearless within their journey to health and survival.
After 42 days in the hospital, Ella is in the clear, and she owes it all to her brother. This is a family that knows, shows, and proves their love for one another.
Now Cale's little sister will have a part of him with her forever, and as if their bond wasn't strong enough already, it's even stronger now.
The relationship they have is beautiful and their story is told perfectly below.
