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

10.31.2005

Happy Halloween! Caleb just got off his 5-day steroids. I hate decadron!!! He is so sensitive to it. He just goes completely downhill. The first couple of days he's fine, then he goes kaput. Lethargic. Just lying there. So sickly. Pale. Yuck! But he's starting to come around. We went trick-or-treating. I had to carry him most of the time. That's o.k. He had a great time anyway. Caitlyn was loving it. She was a beautiful Cinderella. They made out like bandits w/ candy. I'll try to post some pix as soon as I get a chance. Otherwise, everything is fine. They both have coughs right now. I was worried cause he was coughing really yucky last night & this morning. He's been taking some pediacare cough medicine (cleared it w/ dr first)& she's been taking some z-cof. All four of us got our flu shots (dr said we all needed to do it). I'm wondering if that has anything to do w/ their getting sick. Thank God his counts are up!
