Well its been a while since last post and thats because our little champ had been doing so well but unfortunately, as some of you probably already know, he has had a relapse and we are back to square one.
He was admitted into hospital today and had a bone marrow test and lumbar puncture and started on IV's. Unfortunately because of the type of cancer he has to now undergo much more intensive treatment to try and get him back into remission and then they will give him a bone marrow transplant straight after.
He was so sick the first time that we can't begin to imagine how hard it will be on him this time, he is so brave though and so far apart from a few tears has been doing ok. Its not fair though, why him? he doesn't deserve this. One positive is that his younger sister Sienna is a perfect match for his bone marrow which apparently only happens in 20% of cases among family members. Most people have to get extended family tested or hope for a doner that is a match, so Sienna is quite chuffed that she might be able to help her big bro.
Thankyou for all your thoughts and prayers, they mean alot and we will keep you posted on his progress.
