AML again











































On Friday we started all over again. We know we have AML again but we wont find out the specific type for another week. We have been admitted to the hospital and started Chemo at 2 am Friday night. There are a few differences this time; we luckily have caught it very early and when they did his LP they found NO cancer cell in his spinal fluid, they have started Chemo but we don't know how many rounds we will actually have to do. They will do Chemo until he goes into complete remission(last time that was after the first round) and then as soon as we have a donor match then they will do the bone marrow transplant and then we will be done again. We have also realized that Critter is a completely different person since the last time we were here. He is in a bed now instead of a crib which for us is nice because when he just wants to be held we can lay in his bed with him instead of us sleeping in the chair holding him. He also knows what kinds of food he likes and can communicate it to us. Hopefully he will eat as good as he did last time and avoid the feeding tube. The downside is that he is allot bigger and harder to restrain for things like dressing changes and eye drops.
