“Butterfly” stretches her wings

WAUNAKEE – Micaela Horning, known as “Butterfly” to friends and family, has emerged again from her cocoon after beating back acute lymphocytic leukemia for the second time.

Micaela, 8, happily returned for the last nine days of classes at Prairie Elementary School before summer vacation. She had to miss most of second and third grades due to treatment for leukemia, said her mother, Trish.
