Seth is in his own room again....Yippee~! He is recovering from the infection and is working on getting his ANC counts up. Seth has been put in the intermediate category for AML risk. What this basically means is that they are currently running test on siblings to see if there is a bone marrow match in either one. If yes, they proceed down that path. If no, they proceed with the rest of the chemotherapy; so long as he remains in the intermediate category. The High risk category would put him on the National Donor Registry for bone marrow and he would be definitely looking at transplant. What keeps him in the intermediate category is that after his first round of Chemotherapy his 'cancer counts' if you will went down. They need to continue going down after this round and we anticipate that they are/will.
Please pray that Seth can get his counts up and get healthy so that he can go home for a few days before round 3~ We love you all...thanks for the support!

I just saw your story and I wanted to tell you that your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. We have been through a very similar situation. When my son was 6 months he was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma. We spent 9 months going through Chemo and Radiation treatments. He is now 3 and has been done with treatment for 27 months! We have dealt with a lot because of his cancer but I am always grateful that he is my son. You can see his picture at www.gavinwarren.com. Miracles happen! God bless you all!
