Adjusting to life with recently diagnosed three year old with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (as told by his mom, Michelle)

4.20.2005

Remission!

Went to San Antonio today. He had a bone marrow aspiration & spinal tap. He's officially in remission (he had a 98% chance of that). The remarkable thing is that he hasn't needed a blood transfusion after the initial week at the hospital. The nurse said that some kids have multiple blood transfusions. Those prayers are working! We will be notified later about the bone marrow results (the %age of leukemic cells that are left). So we get to the office & boy are they cranky because I said since Caleb doesn't get to eat until after the procedure, than none of us are going to eat. So Caleb is starving & Caitlyn starts acting up too...well, we are already in a stressful situation when they're like that...so Caleb is on my lap & my legs feel this liquid warmth. What a rotten time to get PEED on. I had extra clothes for them, why would I need any for me?!? LUCKILY they had a clothes dryer & believe it or not, the pee smell went away.
