Welcome to Colby's CaringBridge site. Colby was diagnosed with T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (blood cancer) on June 15, 2006 at the age of 3 1/2. Colby's WBC count at diagnosis was 800,000. He had a mediastinal mass (tumor)in his chest, the cancer had also spread to his liver and spleen. 98% of his cells were cancerous. ~All things are possible through Christ who strengthens me.

Colby had his monthly clinic visit yesterday. His counts are great!

ANC 3776

WBC 6.4

RBC 4.74

HGB 13.6

PLT 287

He received inhaled pentamadine (antibiotics).

We thought he may be having a problem with his port because there was a new object poking out that we had not seen before but the nurse said it was always there we just didn't notice it because he was so puffed up on steroids. Colby said he peed blood Monday night (I didn't see it) but they are doing a UA to check for anything. When the nurse was accessing his port it wasn't giving blood and colby hit his stomach and then it magically started working. He said he had to do that to get it to work. It was really funny. Colby has been pretty pale and not had much energy. Since his counts are good Dr. K said we should start him on a multi-vitamin with extra iron. Things are going great...I still thank God every day for healing my baby. Give God the Glory!

Thanks for checking on us. Have a great week!
