Léo had a busy day at the hospital today and received a lot of chemotherapy, but everything (including his LP) went very well. On top of this he received his flu shot: what a cocktail! 😉

We also got a chance to speak about the upcoming months a bit more with the docs this morning, and it looks like maintenance should be easier to go through. It depends on the kids though and it’s apparently hard to predict how Léo will be, even if he did “extraordinary well” over his whole course of treatment. We are very optimistic, and the docs told us we should be! Apparently the worse risk of relapse is over (thanks for letting us know about this now, i.e. at the end of this intensive part of treatment…!!!) and if he doesn’t relapse during his 33 months of maintenance, he will be considered fully cured. We so look forward to hearing all about this! 🙂

Home schooling was also strongly recommended. Leo might end up going to school only in Kindergarten! (3ème année de maternelle). Oh well, this is what they do in Switzerland and other countries and the kids do just fine! We are still looking into our options, but in any case we won’t keep our little one isolated and he will have plenty of occasions to make friends with his little pals during play dates and various park activities. Anyway, we still have time to see it coming and this is the least of our worries!

We were warned that during this very last phase most kids end up being hospitalized for fevers, so we will have to see… fingers crossed! By this weekend he will be severely neutropenic again, so in the meantime we will enjoy the outdoors as much as we can! 🙂
