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.

Friday, 11/20- Liver biopsy behind us!

Yesterday was a long, busy, tired day! I had to take Cole to the clinic right after I dropped off Ruby at school so he could get the Emla (numbing cream) put on his skin for the blood draw and then kill an hour by going grocery shopping and then back to clinic to do labwork then home to put groceries away then back to hospital for biopsy at 1.

The biopsy went smoothly. Cole woke from his anesthesia balling his eyes out b/c they say waking up from gas anesthesia is much harsher than intravenous and he was mainly under gas. After 20 minutes of this, he was given morphine and calmed down and slept until we were discharged. We luckily only had to wait in the recovery room for an hour and a half instead of the 4 hours we were told it might be. We went home and he slept for 14 hours straight! Mom and Dad were very happy. :)

We will wait for the results hopefully early next week. Thank you for all your prayers!
