Roller Coaster Ride

   It's been a real roller coaster ride this last week. Nicholas had his first round of chemotherapy and ended up right back in the hospital due to his blood count being low. His strong immune system recovered within  a day without the blood transfusion that doctors informed us that he would have to have. Our lives have drastically changed in so many ways. We now realize how hard this is going to be. One fever can send you into ICU at any time. Candice was very quick at recognizing Nick's fever and getting him the hospital in time. Thank God for her instincts cause it was nearly 4 in the morning and I did not feel his head.

   I am very sick today and have not even been able to hug Nicholas once. I hope that we can get all back to our routine here shortly. For those that have asked about Nicholas and how he is doing, he's technically in good spirits. He acted out a few times after he left ICU but I think it was just because of fear. As a family we will be exploring our avenues when it comes to counseling  very soon. We need to have a good solid base when battling with this disease.
 
  Our family would like to thank all the silent donations and people that have put forth the effort to help us during this tough time. We are all very happy to know that there are some really great people out there. Some way may never get a chance to meet. Thank you again.
