80% Ugh!!

On Wednesday as we said before Critter had an LP done to check the amount of Leukemia cells he had in his spinal fluid. The tests came back today and he had around 80% of the cells tested positive for Leukemia, that's not so good. Due to the results we now have to have an LP twice a week so they can inject the ARA-C drug directly into his spinal column so it can work faster. They say it usually takes two weeks of this to clear it out, so wish us luck on that. As enjoyable as the LP is Critter has a problem with being put under. His tonsils and his tongue are swollen so as soon as the drugs take effect he cant breath, this just adds another uncomfortable step to the process so he is very uncomfortable the rest of the day.

On a lighter note his cell counts are all dropping well(this is a good thing, we want them to be gone so we can grow new clean cells). He also got to spend time with grandma today. I don't think he realised it but she was very happy for the time. We are so lucky to have both of our wonderful mothers here to help. They have both been so amazing throughout this whole ordeal. In fact we have been so blessed with such great family and friends and we know that we couldn't do this without you guys.
