Journal entry by Tracey Zastrow —
An update on our little man... so when he was admitted on 4-26 his WBC was 644k, as of this morning he is at 26k which has significantly dropped. The doctors and nurses here were scratching there heads upon his arrival as to how he was not showing any signs of being sick. He also only had about 50% of his red blood cells when we walked into the hospital. But since then he's had a few blood transfusions and he still has several to go. His levels are starting to get back to normal for the most part. He started his first chemo treatment 5-1-18. He's doing great though. He has been his jolly old self since we got here so that is a very huge plus for us. His tests for his spinal tap came back all negative, no leukemia cells in any of the fluid!!! That is a huge plus!!!! Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers for us and your donations to help us we really appreciate your support!!! I will keep you updated on his progress.
