Gabey D. and His Leukemia: Medicine KING!

Medicine KING!

Medicine is old hat now. I'm so thankful!
Gabey actually takes his own medicine. He either sucks it from a little straw in a medicine cup, or pushes the medicine syringe into his own mouth!!
It's been a long road, hasn't it? I'm glad this turn in the bend is here.

Prayer Requests

We've started Maintenance. It will be ongoing for the rest of the 3 years of his treatment.
It's much more laid back, and Gabey will be able to get back to living a much more normal life.
The doctors said for us to just go ahead and start going out, and doing the things we need to do. Gabey will start Sunday school again, and we'll be starting going to the store and restaurants again. They said that we can't really worry too much about his counts because we won't know what they are except once a month.

We need to keep praying for his counts to be consistantly above 1000, the nurse said that was their goal for him, so they would be adjusting his doses to keep his counts in a good range.

We still need to pray against fevers and infections, so Gabey can stay away from the hospital.
