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.

An update from Aunt Christa
Nick was admitted to the hospital late last night because of a fever he was running. After a blood test, it was determined he needed a blood transfusion. So far, there is no sign of infection and his fever has been within normal range. He has to stay in the hospital for at least 48 fever free hours. He is READY to go when the doctors give him the okay. He is scheduled for some more treatment, a spinal and a bone marrow aspiration on tuesday. Please continue to keep him in your thoughts. Nick has proven he is a tough boy and will fight like crazy to get to hear those wonderful words "you can go home now". Thanks for your support.
