We had a good visit to the clinic yesterday- Cole got his chemo treatment and he didn't require a blood transfusion. His hemoglobin level was high enough not to need one. We had a good conversation with nurse Marta, talking about what we'd continue with if Cole's CT came out with good results tomorrow. It was very positive and made us feel at peace inside- it has been a long time since we've had that feeling. We cannot get too far ahead of ourselves though and need a lot of prayer for tomorrow! This is the day we've been waiting for since Cole was diagnosed with LCH. His counts have been pretty good, he looks great, and he is gaining weight well (at 11lbs 5oz) so our Dr. & the nurses are "cautiously optimistic."
We will update the blog as soon as we get the results back (should be tomorrow).
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.
