Hello,
We are definitely spending one more night. Nick's counts did not change to much but he has been fever free since this morning. He looks really good and thanks to a visit from cousin Megan and the Hole in the Group, his spirits are up to. Megan and Nick were able to go to the play room (they each wore masks of course) and play together. I think Megan really enjoyed Nick moving the bed up and down. Jeff, from Hole in the Wall came in and drew pictures on the windows and door of Nick's room. He is great with kids and had Nick laughing the whole time.
Counts today:
WBC: .8
RBC: 8.2 (down .4 from yesterday)
ANC: 144 (up from yesterday, 104)
The doctor said if he can stay fever free and still looks good then we might be able to go home tomorrow afternoon.
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.
