Last week, Colin went to clinic and his ANC counts continue to rise. His ANC was at 4,200 and should be between 750-1500 so medications were increased again and we will go back next week for recheck and for meds to adjusted again if needed. (Note to self: 6mp was increased to 1 full pill 5x's per week and half a pill 1x per week - Wed).
On Thursday, we all went to the fundraiser for Camp Rising Sun held at the Owenego Beach Club in Branford. The kids had a blast dancing to music and generally running around. Colin also got to see his Dr. (Dr. Joe) at the event which he was very excited about!
The weekend was fairly low key while we stayed inside as much as possible during the heatwave! Stay cool.
On Friday October 2, 2009, just days after his second birthday, Colin was diagnosed with childhood leukemia (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, "ALL"). Colin's leukemia subtype is called precursor or early pre-B. This site is designed to keep family and friends informed of Colin's progress so please come back often.

Hope
"Hope is the belief in a better tomorrow. Hope sustains the will to live and gives the strength to endure each trial. Hope is not a way around, it is a way through. The majority of children conquer childhood leukemia and live long and happy lives. There is a reason for hope." Nancy Keene
