We have to thank Christa and Amy for putting together this website. We have received many complients on how useful and how often our friends and family read the updates. I decided to make a couple of changes because we always have lots to write about and Nick's favorite color is green. We would also like to thank everyone who have provided us delicious home cooked meals.... from our family, neighbors, long time friends and the SC Johnson crew. These meals have made the days much easier, espeically when we have clinic or when Nick is in the hospital. The gift cards have been great too... The gifts for Nick has helped cheer him up and keep his mind focused on 'play time'. He brings the toys and stuffed animals to the hospital for comfort. To the grandparents, siblings and playdate pals for the kids who have extented their time to help us out, we call out a big THANK YOU to everyone who supports us. It is people like all of you that remind us how lucky we are!
PS- Nick is still home, keeping mom busy with his demands. He now likes his 'button', (port) and thinks it is COOL.
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.
