in the last week i have learned more about this type of blood cancer than i ever wanted to know
i know it takes up space in the plasma leaving less room for good cells
and without good cells, our bodies don't work properly
having blood cells that don't work properly is one thing
but Asher also had an infection in his blood on top of his diagnosis
and an infection around his knee joint, causing his limp that he had a few days before we took him in
it all makes sense now.
treating the infection was priority before his chemo treatment could begin
he had a small surgery on his knee to "wash" out the joint of the bacteria.
after some sleepless night of him in pain, we see a light at the end of this tunnel
he is finally walking, with even less of a limp than he had originally
weight lifted
caring for a 6 yo that can't walk on his own, who is attached 24/7 to a picc line IV is not easy.
caring for a 6 yo that CAN walk on his own, who is attached 24/7 to a picc line IV is much easier.
i feel like i can do this now
