Owen’s Leukemia – Days 236-238

Well, yesterday was the last day of treatment in the intense phase.  2 weeks and we start Long Term Maintenance, as long as his counts are good enough.  He had a good day yesterday.  He had a hearing test in the morning, which he aced, then his chemo in the afternoon.  While he was waiting to get his chemo, he got to visit with the therapy dog (Bubbles, the Chihuahua)  and her owner.  He LOVED it!  Usually the therapy dogs are big and he gets a little intimidated, but since Bubbles was nice and small, he didn’t want to leave her.

Here they are, hanging out, telling stories.  The volunteer was so good with Owen too.  He told her this story that went on for about 15 minutes, and she even recapped it back to him!  What a great listener!!

We couldn’t be happier for Owen. Hopefully, the worst is over. He will still remain in our prayers every day. xxxoo Joanne&Barry
