Gabey D. is our wonderful firstborn son. He was diagnosed with A.L.L (Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia) in May 2007, and has been going through a 3 1/2 year chemo treatment. We are trusting God, and believe He will show Himself Mighty.

And Now We Maintain!!

It's finally here!
Gabey's ANC counts were up to 950, and his platelet counts were fine too, so we were able to go ahead with the first treatment of Maintenance!!

Gabey got his Lumbar Puncture with interthecal Methotrexate (chemo injected into his spinal fluid), and his Vincristine push treatment(chemo just injected into his tube).

For the entire 3 years, he'll have a Vincristine push every month, and the LP with IT MTX every 3 months.

His home meds will be...
Decadron- 2X daily 5 days a month
MTX oral- 1x a week (chemo)
6-MP- 1x a day (chemo)

Here are some pics for you!

Your son is cute - he looks so brave in all the pictures! I can't imagine what it is like to find out your child has cancer. I'm glad you found my site, please tell Gabey I will pray for him. :-)
