We've been fortunate to have had a few good days where things seem to be going better with Cole.
- He is up to 3.14kg (6.9lbs) so that is very good as he is consistently gaining weight.
- The results of his echocardiogram (x-ray of his heart) showed that things are fine with his heart.
- A major sore from the LCH where the infection might have set in is healing very well.
- The Dr's seemed to have found the right dose of chemo as his last treatment on Monday seemed to be a lot better for his little body to take.
Cole did have to have a blood transfusion today as his hemoglobin levels were below 7. We've been told not to worry too much about these as they are part of the treatment. Very good news is that we are being told there is a good chance he will come home Tuesday!
About Cole Kambeitz
- Holly Kambeitz
- 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.
