ShareMartin Here: Restless but good. I am keeping vigil tonight. His fever topped at 40.4 (Metric) tonight. Connie has gone back to Sarasota tonight to take care of the mail, the house and her puppy. She also has an appt to have the scrape on the car looked at tomorrow. I am checking Andrews temp every 45 minutes and it is going down again, but it just keeps going up and down. Nobody is sure why this is. It may be something created by the mucocitis, and it may be something due to a bug somewhere in his system that … Continue reading →

ShareAndrew had his first day of depression. He did not like it. He said it does not resonate with him. His sore throat is getting to him. The fact it’s too sore to eat anything has taken it’s toll. We discussed it then decided to put on The Secret to help shift the energy. It actually did help. We found he can drink Rice Dream milk w/ no stinging or pain. He may have to drink a gallon of it a day to gain weight but he’s willing to give it a try.  Like Martin said above, he goes for the lung thingy Monday at 4:00p.m. … Continue reading →

ShareHey Everybody Martin here. We are down to the wire now, I can feel it. I am putting the thoughts into getting home with a perfectly healthy boy.

We are holding the thought that he is a Happy and Healthy Boy. He rested this weekend and had one x-ray tonight. I also feel that his throat is on the mend and … Continue reading →

He is such an inspiration to me, and at this point, has handed me a great list of things that are small stuff. I am surprised at … Continue reading →

ShareWell, it looks like it will be me blogging and not Martin or Andrew for awhile. Things are very hectic, always some kind of test going on. Today it is another lumber puncture (LP) where they do a spinal tap and they shoot chemo directly into his spine. It’s his 3rd one. *sigh* He is sedated for it. When they first did it there weren’t as many luekemia cells as they thought. SO that was good. Dunno what it is now. Haven’t heard…which we look at as a good sign. It’s when the docs won’t leave u alone u worry. … Continue reading →
