Ami and TJ Pearson have been married for 5 years, live in Auburn, and have two beautiful little girls named Harper (4years) & Hattie (1year). On December 23, 2014 Ami went to see her ENT for a routine post-op checkup after a sinus surgery. The doctor found a small spot in her nose that was cancer. At that point, Ami was only 29 weeks pregnant with Hattie Jane, and wanted to confirm the diagnosis before putting the baby through any stress. While waiting for the test results to come back from UAB, Ami's eye started to swell. Her and TJ came back to UAB on January 10th, to find out what was going on with her eye. The doctors discovered a rapid-growing tumor on the left side of her face. At only 32 weeks on January 14th, she was forced to delivered a beautiful and healthy 4lb, 3 oz little girl.
Baby Hattie is now over a year old and growing like a weed! Her and her big sister, Harper, have so much fun together and are super tough to endure all they have this past year! Ami's left eye was removed and then doctors discovered that she was initially misdiagnosed. We now know that she has rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancer of the muscles. She and TJ have to fly often to Houston, Texas to meet with Dr. Conley a sarcoma specialist from MD Anderson. The team in Texas collaborates with the cancer team here in Opelika to provide the best treatment plans for Ami. She is currently continuing radiation and chemotherapy at this time all while being a wife, mommy and still working full-time. She is the strongest woman I know and a FIGHTER! Let's all help her, TJ, Harper and Hattie this fall by participating in this fun event!!! Please continue to pray and support the sweet family. I love you all and I am forever grateful - Honey (Samantha Baggett)
