Good news: Leo is stable, ANC 1,000!

Posted on by

It has been a while since we wrote a paragraph on the blog; well, these past few weeks have been pretty uneventful, which gave us a nice break. Leo has been in great shape and even the steroids didn’t bother him too much last time. He got his LP this morning and everything went very well. His ANC seems to be finally stable and the docs are happy since Leo is able to tolerate the 100% dose really well. 1,000 is a good number and we don’t need to go back to the hospital before next visit, scheduled on May 21. We have been waiting for these good news and we warmly welcome them!
🙂 🙂 🙂

Leo’s week is now pretty busy. He started music classes with a group of children on Wednesdays, which he loves. He explores all sorts of instruments over there and gets to learn fun songs. He will start soccer next week (a group of 6 other 3 years old!) and hip hop in the fall. Hopefully he will get to meet little pals he could have nice play dates with on the side.

The rest of the time we homeschool him and we go to local parks and museums. He loves to learn and moves forward pretty fast. This month our theme is Asia; we do all sorts of art projects, read children books about different Asian countries and explore Asian food and music. Our little one loves it, along with Charlotte who jumps in full of enthusiasm!

Our week in Palm Springs was so nice. Both kids had fun swimming and in the beautiful relaxing outdoors.

Life finally feels like back to normal, with just a few medications to take every day. We are used to it and keep hoping for the best! 🙂

  4. Bravissimo, Léo!
    Voici une comptine que ta Maman aimait réciter quand elle avait ton âge:
    Pain d’épices, boulanger,
    Fais-nous bien vite à manger:
    Pétris, roule, tape ferme,
    Fais-nous un gâteau superbe
    Mets-le dans le jour bien chaud
    Et régale-nous bientôt!

    Affettuosissimo a tutta la famiglia

  5. En voici une autre pour Charlotte:
    Dame souris trotte
    Noire dans le gris du soir,
    Dame souris trotte
    Grise dans le noir

    Un nuage passe,
    Il fait noir comme en un four,
    Un nuage passe,
    Tiens, le petit jour!

    Dame souris trotte,
    Rose dans les rayons bleus,
    Dame souris trotte;
    Debout , paresseux!

    Pleins de bisous à vous tous
