Nick had a very routine visit to clinic on Monday besides the fact that he went early due to throwing up when he got to school. After clinic he threw up again but never really felt bad besides those two moments. He probably got sick from the morphine and the chemo but who is to know. Nick had a little pain over the weekend so we did our normal maintenance...start with tylenol w/ codeine follow with morphine if that is not enough, ice packs anything to relieve it. Karen met with Nick's doctor on Monday and she had some concern that he should not be feeling this much pain so we will probably try and wein him off the steroids next time and see how that goes. Nick has a single mindset this week. Friday is his birthday and he turns six years old. Where does the time go. He is having a sleepover with Michael, Joey and of course Colby. They are going to go to the movies and then color easter eggs. It will be a fun evening. I think there might be some tired boys on Saturday.
That is all for now...If you see Nick wish him a happy 6th Birthday!!
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.
