Day 23

Got two videos to share with you today. As you can see from the videos, Lucas is doing fine. It's hard to believe that he is very much sick and receiving high doses of strong chemotherapy.


Tomorrow is another chemo day. As we did last Monday, they will first access his port to draw blood. After they make sure his hemoglobin is above 8 and platelets above 20, they will give him two chemo medicines through his port.

 His initial cytogenetics result is already out and the doctor will discuss it with us tomorrow. Both Jianwei and I are rather nervous about it. The call on 12/13 from our pediatrician to inform us that we needed to take Lucas to ER right away because they thought Lucas had Leukemia is the beginning of our worries. We will need to learn to deal with the nervousness with every test. Maybe I should practice meditation and yoga daily so the anxiety won't be a toll on my body.
