Quick update for this Friday morning! Bo’s fevers are GONE! His last spike was Tuesday night and he’s been at beautiful, normal temps ever since. Also, all blood tests are negative for any type of infection. We are so relieved and grateful for answered prayer. Another HUGE praise is that we learned that not only […]

Hello friends! Sorry it’s been quiet around here after we asked you all to pray. Bo is doing well today. The fevers have continued to come and go, however they aren’t spiking as high as they were and he hasn’t needed Tylenol since last night! He is his sweet, energetic self today and we are […]

Friends, The last 24 hours have been hard. Bo started to get a fever on Sunday morning (6/2) and we watched it slowly climb throughout the day. By mid-afternoon his temp reached 101 F. Fevers are anticipated throughout Bo’s treatment and can come as a side effect of chemo, reactions to transfusions or meds, or […]

We have had a quiet and smooth week back at the hospital! There honestly hasn’t been much to report as Bo has tolerated the second round of chemo like such a warrior. His energy levels have been that of a typical 10-month-old boy–bouncing off the walls! Nothing can keep this kid down! We noticed he […]

We have had an uneventful and wonderful week together at home. We came to the hospital this morning to see if Bo’s counts were up enough to be admitted, and they were!

We went to the hospital this morning again to be readmitted to start round 2 of chemo for Bo, but after a blood test were sent home because his Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) is still too low to begin treatment. Our care team is not worried because we are only 5 days past the predicted […]

Friends, we are overjoyed to share that we have received Bo’s bone marrow and spinal tap results from Monday and they are both NEGATIVE. This was not what his care team expected to see as these results are not typical for only having had one cycle of chemo (as you may recall he had had […]

We are home and exhausted, but today went smoothly and was successful. We weren’t expecting to be able to sleep at home tonight—what a blessing. It was a long day with much to be thankful for. Just wanted to let you all know how your prayers were answered and that our sweet boy is doing […]

This week at home has been such a gift. We have cherished every moment of being together and have seemed to find our new normal fairly quickly. Bo has been full of life and energy, and it has been so encouraging to watch. It’s honestly hard to believe he’s sick. He has been able to […]
