Nick is an amazing 6 year old fighting T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). He was diagnosed at 4 years old on Oct. 15, 2008 and here is the story of his courageous battle. This day changed our lives forever. Nick seemed very healthy at the time and the only signs we noticed were swollen lymph nodes on his neck. At first, we thought it could be a virus, but after 2 rounds of blood tests, the doctors confirmed our worst fear, cancer. This site is to show how strong our little boy is.
Update:
Nicholas finished treatment on 11/18/2010. He will continue to go for blood work for the next 3 years. He is still in remission.

Nick comes Home
To everyone’s pleasant surprise Nick was released from the hospital on Saturday. The doctors are pleased with his blood counts and reactions to the medication. Nick will continue to receive chemotherapy and spinals through outpatient treatment. Nick spent the weekend playing with his cousins and chillin at his house. As Karen, Aunt Christa and Grammy packed up Nick’s hospital room, they realized there was not enough room in the car for all the balloons. So Nick decided he would give the balloons to each of kids at the hospital. He walked the halls and handed out all his balloons to the kids on his floor and only held onto one, Spongebob. Today is Day 11 of Phase I for Nick’s treatment and he is on schedule and responding well to the treatment. Big hugs and kisses to Colby, Nick and Thomas from Joey, Megan, and Kendra.
