Child’s Medical Scans Confound Her Doctors After A Harsh Diagnosis

One Texas family received the worst news: their little girl had a deadly illness. It sucked the air out of their lungs as they were immediately thrust into the world of hospitals and exhaustive treatments. But despite statistics and scientific certainties, their family maintained unshakeable hope. And after months of giving it everything they had, the doctors were totally confused when it was time to gauge the results.

Average 11-Year-Old

Eleven-year-old Roxli Doss was an average kid. She attended church regularly, as the Doss family were active members. Outside school hours, she was happiest hanging out at the stables and learning to ride horses.

Feeling Off

Nearing the end of her school year, Roxli started feeling a little off. At first, she and her family chalked it up to a bad headache and brushed it aside. Over the next few days, though, her pain wasn't relenting, and Roxli couldn't ignore it.

Thought It Would Pass

Doing as sick kids do, she complained to her mom. Gena and Scott Doss went ahead and gave their daughter some children's pain reliever. Headaches happen, after all, and they hoped this would do the trick.

Headaches Persisted

Days turned to weeks, and Roxli's headaches grew stronger and more frequent. Her parents, concerned that their daughter was too young to experience incessant migraines, decided it was time to have their family physician weigh in.
