What we were talking on the day when Lucas was diagnosed

I never thought Lucas would have leukemia. Back in May (05/24/2012) when Lucas had frequent bleeding nose, Xiaoyi took him to see doctor and requested blood testing. Everything was fine back then, and I thought this would never happen to him. Here was the IM chat hisotry I had with xiaoyi on 12/13/2012.


11:34 AM Xiaoyi: Doctor appt for Lucas
  4:45
 me: ok
  today
11:35 AM Xiaoyi: Yes
 me: i can take him
 Xiaoyi: I will take him
 me: ok
  did u talk to my mom?
 Xiaoyi: No
 me: for cold hand?
 Xiaoyi: Can you try to call?
 me: and general fuzzy
  ok
 Xiaoyi: I worry

I actually didn't think there was a need to take him to see the doctor because he seemed recovering from the fever after the Thanksgiving holiday.

I put a link on the right side which shows all Lucas's blood count, and if you are interested, you can take a look what his blood count was in May , on the diagnose day, and how the  chemo is killing his bad cells and good cells.  He is on treatment AALL1131, and we will know one testing result on next Monday which will possible change his treatment plan.

    Lucas is lucy to have a knowledgeable and alert Mom. I can't think of anyone else who would handle similar situations better than you guys. Any idea what has caused the frequent nose bleeding in May, since the blood test is normal? Maybe there are some early indicators that haven't been discovered.

    American doctors think the child won't survive for more than a couple of weeks without treatment with the high WBC he was diagnosed on 12/13/2012 .
    After our one week Texas trip, Lucas started a low fever on 11/19/2012 and looking back, we think that was the initial start now. We took Lucas to see the doctor on 11/24/2012 and the doctor thought he was fine and suggested we went back to see him again if Lucas didn't return to normal in 2 days. Lucas returned to normal on 11/26/2012 and went back to Daycare again. But his pale face still made xiaoyi worried and that started our journey.
