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.

No Break for Nick this Week
I guess I was overly optimistic yesterday about Nick. When we arrived home from clinic Nick started throwing up. It lasted into the night, but he has stopped now. Now he is dealing with going to the bathroom all the time. He does not have a fever and has not eaten anything for 2 days now. I think his spirits are pretty down right now, it has definitely been a very tough week for him. He was so excited yesterday to know he was going to see Micheal today and he was very upset last night when we told him he had to stay home another day. I really feel bad for him. He is a very social child and loves seeing his friends. It is tough to watch him lay on the couch all day, quiet and looking sad. We are hoping for a better day tomorrow and maybe a trip over to Auntie Lisa's house in the evening. I have a few activities for Nick to do today and hopefully I can sneak away from work for a little while and hang out with him. Keeping our chins up, we will get through this. Karen
