Owen’s Leukemia – Day 272

Thank you all for all of your comments on my last post!  It means so much to us all!

Owen has been doing really great!  We had a huge accomplishment last week.  Owen learned to swallow pills!  This is such a huge thing because the majority of his medicines in maintenance are pill form, and until last week, we would crush them, mix with sugar water and cherry syrup.  He did not like the flavor at all, and we explained that his other option was to take the pills.  He said he was ready, and just like that, he did them!!  What a grown up boy!

He has been feeling really good.  He did run a low fever last night, but I kept monitoring it and this morning it was back down.  Sorry for the lack of pictures, I will get some up soon.  His hair is really starting to come in and I can’t wait to show it!
