Cooper Greene, an energetic Wellington 2-year-old boy, is known to light up the lives of everyone around him. However, over two months ago, he developed swelling in the lymph nodes on his neck.
After many doctor s visits, scans, and blood work, Greene has been tentatively diagnosed with a histiocytic disorder.
Histiocytic diseases are rare blood disorders that occur when there is an over-production of white blood cells known as histiocytes, which can lead to organ damage and tumor formation.
Cooper s disease is very rare. He has been under the care of an oncologist in Wichita and a team at Texas Children s Hospital in Houston is also reviewing his case.
