We got to the clinic today, and Alex was actually really excited about the "sleepy milk" that they give him right before a LP (aka Back Poke) - it makes him feel dizzy, and he likes it ---ummm...should I be concerned ? :-)
The nurse looked at me funny when I told her "we're ready for the back poke" - I'm then told that I'm mistaken - there is no back poke today - Doh! So, no reason to fast this morning - double Doh!
After inhaling some cheerios and saltine crackers, Alex let the doctors do an exam, access his PORT, give him his Zofran, Methotrexate, and Vincristine, and then de-access his PORT. We then ate lunch in the cafeteria (a treat for him - not sure why!), and came home, where he is napping.
I got the "good news" that the LP is his "next" appointment on 4/17 - the day before his birthday - maybe he'll think the "sleepy milk" is a present from the doctors...

Alex's Battle Story
On November 10th, 2008 our family was devastated when our then 3 1/2 year old son was diagnosed with cancer. Our lives were changed forever.
This blog was created to share his story as he, along with his family and friends, battled Non-Hodgkins Acute Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (T-Cell Lymphoma). Alex took his last dose of Chemotherapy on November 21, 2010.
On April 29, 2011 at age 6, Alex was diagnosed with B-Cell Leukemia (B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia "ALL"). This blog will continue his story, as he fights for his life again.

Alex's Battle Cry
Well I won't back down,
no I won't back down.
You could stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down
Gonna stand my ground,
won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and
I won't back down.
