In the days before Hurricane Irma was set to hit Florida, residents scramble to prepare.

Then the Hurricanes projected paths shifted and it looked like it would

curve west and head straight for Jennifer Newman's home in Wesley Chapel near

Tampa. She says the whole neighborhood felt eerie.

The gas stations were running out of gas.

There was lines all the way down the street.

Jennifer is a full-time mom who lived with her two young daughters and their dad a local beekeeper.

They stockpiled batteries and flashlights, water and food, even sandbags for their doors.

Still, they were nervous. The national news at that point was

pretty scary what they were saying. The storm really shook people. Like in a

way I hadn't seen much in my 20 years here. People were scared. a Willow was focused on something else. For months, ever since she watched her older sister

turn four, Willow had been asking about her birthday, a birthday that happened to be the very

day the hurricane would hit. But both the hurricane and the

birthday were about to feel a lot less important. It started when Jennifer noticed

something unusual about Willow's complexion. Her lips were looking pale,

and then before that, she was kind of taking longer naps during the day.

Jennifer was concerned.

So, two days before the storm, she took Willow to the doctor.

She found a bruise on her leg and asked him I knew how the bruise came and I said I didn't.

And she said, okay, I need you to go to the emergency room for blood work

immediately. The results alarmed the doctors who thought this could be

something serious.
