Hi All,
We are at clinic now and Nick is much better. No fever today but they are still going to give him the antibiotic and an extra bag of fluids. He is not eating much and I am trying to have him drink juice, but he is not interested. The color is back to his cheeks and the pain has finally gone away. The steroids really hit him hard this time, eventhough there was not an adjustment in the amount he takes. I think his body just gets tired sometimes and then he gets hit with a virus, that definitely gave him aches and pains, on top of the steroids. He is planning on going to school tomorrow and then a play date with Michael after. I think 3 days on the couch is giving him 'cabin fever' and this will help perk his spirits up. Karen
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.
