About Cole Kambeitz

My photo
Cole Jonathan Kambeitz was born October 5th, 2008. He was born with chicken pox-like lesions on his skin. After a CT scan, MRI, x-ray, ultrasound, and a biopsy, he was diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Hystiocytosis (LCH) at 3 days old. It affects his skin, liver and lungs. He completed treatment of 1 year of chemo and steroids and after a liver biopsy in late November '09 confirming no active disease, he is officially in remission. Today he is a very happy boy, excited to explore the world.

Wednesday 10/22 - Meningitis test

Today we visited Cole in hospital. We found out he had a fever last night that went away with some Tylenol. So the doctors decided to be super safe and check for Meningitis. So today he just got a spinal tap to check. We'll know more by the end of the day.

Finally some good news - we found out that he does NOT have LCH in his bone marrow. It still may turn out that due to the chemo he'll need to have a bone marrow transplant as the chemo kills off the bone marrow. So we'll just have to wait.

Patience and prayers!
