One more week to go and this phase will be over…! Geez, what a roller coaster it has been! Last week Léo received a blood transfusion and we had to repeat it (blood plus platelets this time) yesterday as he was bruising again spontaneously and he was kind of weak.

This last phase of treatment was pretty nasty, but this is what the doctors were aiming for. So, we are all good! After next week we will wait until the counts go back up to start the next phase, called “Interim Maintenance”. Today we were told that each hospitalization could last from 3 to 5 days, depending on how long it will take for the molecule to get out of his body. We will have to see.

As of now, we have to be really careful since apparently a lot of kids end up being hospitalized at this time of treatment if they catch a virus. Let’s hope that again Léo will be the exception! 🙂

A few more days at home then… at the next blood test (i.e. next Tuesday) we will see if we can take him outside before we start the hospitalizations. Our little one still doesn’t seem to mind: he has fun inside too! 🙂
