Philippians 1:19 – For I know that for me this will turn out to salvation through your petition and the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ
It’s been over 48 hours since Adam was admitted to the ER. The doctors have now been able to confirm that the blood cultures that they drew on Saturday are negative and therefore show no signs of infection in his blood. Thank you, Lord! ? Adam was discharged from the hospital TODAY, and he received […]
This morning at around 11:00 am, Adam spiked a fever of 101.5F. So we immediately brought him into the ER to check. They drew blood cultures to check if there is any infection in his central line. Then they administered Tylenol and antibiotics immediately after. Since Adam is neutropenic (immunity almost zero) and has a […]
Just realized that the video I uploaded in the previous post had an error. So I’m posting it again… (for those who care to watch a 10 second clip of Adam taking 3 steps, ha). Enjoy!
We have been anxiously waiting to start Adam’s last round of chemo (cycle 8). It’s taken him a lot longer to recover this time, so he hasn’t been ready to start therapy yet. He was supposed to start chemo 2 weeks ago but wasn’t fully recovered from the last cycle (cell counts still too low). […]
Adam is recovering from his 6th round of chemo, and he’s doing well. Despite some loss of appetite, he’s been gaining weight steadily. He recently began eating some soft solid foods, which has helped a lot. A week from today, he will have his 7th round of chemo, with his 8th (and final) round scheduled […]
As most of you all know, Adam had his MIBG scan on May 9, and we finally received the results of this scan last week. The results of Adam’s scan showed that the cancer has receded and is no longer picked up by the scans. In other words, the visible active neuroblastoma cells have been […]
Adam’s MIBG scan went smoothly on Wednesday, and we’re expecting results by next Monday. We hope that this will show that the chemo has been working, and we’re on track. His oncologist also wanted to see whether the tumor in the bones behind his left eye is completely gone. This is the only way for […]
It’s been 1 week since Adam had his 4th chemo treatment. His eating has declined a bit but he still seems happy. He had a blood draw appointment on Tuesday and he did not need any blood transfusions. We will go back again on a Friday for another blood draw. Next week, Adam will get […]
Hellllo. Sorry it’s been so long since our last post! I officially went back to work this week, and Mark resumed his role as daddy daycare. The good news is that we both survived our first week back at work! ? It feels like not much has happened since our last post, but when I […]
