As many of you know my 2 year old has leukemia. He relapsed and received a bone marrow transplant from his brother October 25th. It will be 18 months before he is out of the woods. Everything was going great until last week. After we were released from his blood work Wednesday everything seemed fine. Thurseday the doctor called and said he finally got the results and all his counts were off. We needed to come back in a week to do them again and probably do a bone marrow draw to test for the leukemia.
If he relapses, there are no further medical treatments. We will be at the end. So for a week, I've been looking at him wondereing if he'll not be with us in a year. Today he had his test. Almost all of his counts, but one are back to normal (for a transplant patient anyway) They are not doing the marrow test, apparently the one has something to do with having contracted a virus. When my husband called, I dissolved. I did not go in, because I knew I would and he doesn't need to see his mommy that way.
My husband says, "so far he's good, see if you can get yourself together." I am trying but this has been a week of hell. I am requesting energy for all of us and healing energy for Rory so this won't occur again, hopefully. Please think of us or pray/spell towards us.
