        how chemo cures affect kids. Proof of this seven-year commitment is
        Harley's promotion to the “Knights of the Bald Table” fraternity.
        Harley's response to those who supported his efforts was always the
        same.

           “Thank you for helping me Kick Cancer's Ass!”































                      Figure 194: December 2015, Harley, while at
                      Dells for treatment of pneumonia, was finally
                      allowed to venture out to the Healing Garden.




           In January of 2016, to update the monitoring of his current bone
        marrow diagnosis, Harley underwent another bone marrow aspiration
        along with another blood transfusion. The doctor's report informed
        Harley   and   his   parents   that   he   was   now   definitely   positive   for
        leukemia. This was quite alarming since the leukemia appeared to be
        rapidly progressing. His doctor immediately installed a central line in
        Harley and started a month-long cycle of chemo to treat the leukemia
        before Harley would eventually travel to Houston Medical Center to
        undergo a bone marrow transplant.
