Just wanted to give you a quick update and let you know we are home. Thank goodness they let us go and we have a followup with the doctor on Wednesday. James' platelet count and white blood cell count are extremely low so we will have to watch him carefully. His hemoglobin did come up after 3 transfusions. I am happy to say that we will finish the last chemo of this phase tomorrow night and then James will have a couple of weeks to recover before entering maintenance.
Please pray that James stay fever free-His ANC is 100 so his ability to fight infection is low. Also pray for his routine-he is out of sorts with disrupted sleep patterns, little appetite, and feeling bad. Pray that he will return to the fun loving boy we know.
We are excited about 2008 and the future it holds for our family. 2007 will be a year we will never forget!
Happy New Year!

James Gregory Ryan II is our precious blonde haired, blue eyed, tiny little man full of love, smiles and laughter. James was diagnosed with Leukemia on July 12, 2007 at the age of 13 months. Our journey with him through this trial begins here.

I am glad to say goodbye to 2007 and welcome 2008 with all the promise it holds.(optimistically assuming that though maintainance will have it's tough times, we can leave the worst of times behind with the old year)
Happy New Year!
So glad you are home!
Love and prayers as you begin a new year!!!!
