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.

Camp Sunshine Here We Come
We will be leaving in Sunday for our family vacation to Camp Sunshine. Greg took Nick to clinic yesterday for his 'Monday' chemo. It was only Methotrexate and his counts were good. He will now have a 10 day break (instead of 7) from his chemo. He was hesitant to go yesterday because where his port is located, the area is really sore for him. I guess between going to the ER and clinic over the past 1.5 wks does leave a good black/blue mark on the spot. He is back to himself today and the boys are playing with Michael. I am excited to take a break from blogging, work, and everyday chores for a little bit and just focus on the family time. Take Care. Karen
