11:30am Update:
Nick's ANC is 280. He is moving in the right direction, which is good. They will check his ANC again tomorrow morning and hopefully be able to go home.
First Update of the Day:
Just a quick update because I do not have all the information. We think Nick's fever has finally broke, he did not spike again after last night. His stats are great and normal, still no need for the oxygen. He is still on antibiotics and they not introduced any new ones. He will definitely be spending tonight at the hospital and maybe a possibility of going home tomorrow. We do not know his ANC number yet, be know the white blood cells is 1.8, not a big jump from yesterday (1.1), but at least moving in the right direction. I will be heading over to the hospital this afternoon and spend the night with Nick. The child life specialists are keeping Nick active and giving him projects to do. Yesterday we made a truck out of wood and nails and last night he built another Lego car with Greg. Today he has been playing the Wii a lot. I am hoping that tonight we can venture out of his room for a little while and down to the playroom. It would be nice to change things up a bit, but it all depends on his ANC number. I'll post later today and let you know how we are. Thanks for checking in. 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.
