ATLANTA – Visiting the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite, to have the IV medication in his backpack switched out, it is easy to see why neighbors of Nick Colley have nicknamed the 10-year-old “the mayor” of their cul-de-sac.
“Nick is a big personality,” his mother, Melanie Colley, says. “I think God gave him that personality, so we were able to know, when that wasn’t there, that something was off.”
This summer, Nick wasn’t being “Nick.”
“I wasn’t eating my favorite foods,” Nick Colley says. “Like, I wasn’t eating.”
“He wasn’t as energetic as he normally is,” his mother says.
“I mean, I like staying up late and watching movies. And I would go to bed at like 6 p.m.,” Nick Colley says.
