Owen’s Leukemia – End of October

Owen had a great October.  He loved being back to school and playing with all of his friends.  October is also a favorite month for Owen because he LOVES Halloween!  All month he asked to hear spooky stories and talk about the holiday. He decided that he wanted to be Mike the Knight.  Being a Knight, he needed a horse to ride and a dragon to slay, so Daddy and Logan helped him out.  He had fun dressing up for a couple of different parties, and for the big night.  Although, on trick or treat it rained quite a bit.  They went out for a little while, but were ready to come home.

Owen had his treatment this past Wednesday.  The way Maintenance is set up is in 3 month increments.  This was the start of the second 3 months which meant he needed a lumbar puncture and the Vincristine.  His appointment wasn’t scheduled until 2 pm and he had to fast since they were sedating him.  Tough day for the little guy.  All of the drugs in his system really knocked him out this time.  He was out of school on Thursday and spent the majority of the day napping and relaxing.  Friday, he was back at school, but still pretty lethargic.  He is still not quite back to himself.  Luckily, this procedure is only every 3 months!!

Here is a picture of the boys from Halloween.
