It has been 2 years since Owen was diagnosed with Leukemia. At times, that seems like it was just yesterday, but others it feels like forever. Owen is ready for it to be done. Before his treatment in November he said that he doesn’t want to go to the hospital anymore. He was also asking why Logan doesn’t have to go and that “it’s not fair.” Such hard things for such a small mind to understand. He really doesn’t know anything different though. He was 3 1/2 when we found out and he probably doesn’t remember too much before that. But, he does his medicine like a pro and takes it as it goes.
Last months treatment was pretty rough. It was supposed to be an easy one since it wasn’t the spinal tap, but for some reason the medicine really hit him hard. He didn’t feel well for about a week after his treatment. Then, to top things off, he had an episode of SVT and we almost thought we were going to have to take him to the hospital. Luckily, his body knows what to do and he vomited and it brought his heart out of it.
Other than the medical stuff, he is doing great. We had our first snow flakes and even though nothing sticks on the ground he is ready to go out and play in it. He can not wait for snow.
I hope everyone has a very happy Thanksgiving!! Lots of love to you and your families.
