Here is an update for Camron, he is such a trooper! He is so strong and never complaines about anything. I had a misunderstanding about Camrons bone marrow, I thought the doctor said there was NO cancer in his bonemarrow, I was wrong, last week he had 86% cancer. This thursday when he had his test he only has 20% cancer in his bonemarrow. That is so awsome and he has improved so much it is amazing! Here is some information that could help understand The red blood cells should be between 400 an 520, when we took him to the hospital they were 146 today they are 4.00The white blood cells should be between 450 and 1350, when we took him to the hospital they were 120 today they are 140the HCT which I dont really understand should be between 350 and 450, the day we took him they were 107 and today they are 323. The Platlets (this is what stops bleeding) should be 150 to 400, when we took him in it was 50 and today it is 52. The next one decides when he can have visitors. It is called ANC (dont know what that is but they say it is what fights infection) anyway it should be 150 to 800, when we took him in it was 300 and that didnt go up this week, they said when it gets to 500 we can limit visitors to nobody that even has a sniffle, but we are looking forward to that. Thanks everyone for being concerned! We will go to Primary Childrens every Thursday and he will get chemo and until there is no cancer in his bone marrow he will get it checked so he has to go to sleep which means he can't eat after midnight and that makes him really mad! The steriods are making him eat and eat and eat. It is very funny, he goes to sleep thinking about food, wakes up in the middle of the night and tells me what he is going to have for breakfast and then the minute he wakes up he wants to eat. I am happy he is eating so basically we give him everything.Thanks again and I will keep you posted next weekend.
