West Lafayette senior Mikayla Pelfree is about to graduate high school - but that's not her biggest accomplishment. The teen spent most the last few years in and out of the hospital fighting acute myeloid leukemia.
INDIANAPOLIS — The teen spent most of her school years in and out of the hospital fighting acute myeloid leukemia.
Thursday morning at Peyton Manning Children's Hospital, nurses, teachers, doctors, and family gathered to celebrate Mikayla graduating high school. She is able to graduate on time in part because of the"school away from school" program at Peyton Manning Children's Hospital.There is a classroom where kids can go while staying in the hospital to do their homework and receive help. If they aren't able to leave the room, like in Mikayla's case, the hospital teachers will help them.
"I think it was just a lot of shock," Pelfree said."I was conditioning for track being all fine then you get diagnosed with cancer. It's something you don't expect," said Mikayla."
