Well, the weekend is over and Mitchell seems to be doing much better. I want to apologize for not having an update sooner. On Saturday he was excited to inform me that his poop is almost back to normal . The doctors think he had a GI bug. He was prescribed Prevacid. His little body's been through allot and we may see little episodes like this from time to time. Mitchell informed us that he "hates cancer!" Everyone have a great Memorial Day!

It is Thursday and the day started off with a bang! Everything has been going great until last night. Mitchell vomited once and had bloody poop four times. This morning he passed out after going to the bathroom. He is currently at the hospital undergoing tests. His hemoglobin has gone from 11.3 on Monday to 8 today. He is getting a transfusion now and fluids. We don't know what is causing it at this point but as soon as we know, it will be here.

The end of the world didn't happen so on we go. Yesterday Mitchell had a Drs. appointment for his antibiotics. Everything went just swimmingly. He had his pick line removed so he can now take normal showers and he is particularly excited...he can go swimming. He will only have monthly appointments for antibiotics for the next 4 or 5 months and scans every three months. The mass continues to shrink and Dr. Norwood reinforced that he is disease free.

We have to be real about all of this and there is a chance it could come back. As Dr. Norwood said, if it comes back it will in the first six months to a year after completion of treatment. If it does, the type of cancer Mitchell "had", will come back with a vengeance. So cross fingers for beautiful scans and normal blood work!!! And in keeping it real...every day he get closer and closer to living a teenage life!!

Things have been going very well, and Mitchell is growing his hair back. I told him he should keep it bald and go for the biker look. He looks quite stunning as a Q-ball. As tomorrow is the end of the world I want to bid a sweet farewell to all. Should we all see Sunday I will post again. In the mean time we are busy getting ready for the end of days. May we all live long and prosper.

Fundraiser at Lupe's Escape - Tuesday May 10, 2011

For the last four months I have been battling cancer. On January 14th of this year I was diagnosed with a rare form of non-hodkin's lymphoma. The insurance only covers a fraction of the expenses.
