Ben's numbers were great yet again! Hemoglobin 13.8, Platelets 289,000 and ANC 2607. Since I had to miss this hospital visit due to David's bad cough (we didn't want to subject the patients at the cancer center to a coughing kid!) I had to get the full rundown from Scott, Ben and the oncology nurse. Everything continues to be great and the doctors and nurses are happy with how things are going so things remain calm. Yeah!
Ben started his steroids for the month yesterday morning so we are hoping that his emotions aren't too tough on him this weekend.
Nicole and I started this blog to keep friends and family updated on Ben's fight against leukemia which began on May 8, 2007. If you want to make a donation to help Ben and other cancer patients, please click the links in the right margin. Thanks to everyone for your support and encouragement.

Hello! I came across this blog today and had to leave a message. My son Josh had the same form of leukemia as Ben. Reading your blog was a walk down memory lane. Josh had just turned three at diagnosis. He is now just days away from his ninth birthday. He is very healthy and very active! Glad to hear your last counts were great! Ben, tell that body of yours to keep up the good work!
wonderful! good job ben! :) big hug!
